Well I stuck it in -mm anyway.  Let's see what happens.

We don't have a Signed-off-by: for this patch.

Fixup patches agains next -mm would be suitable.  Please keep them
super-short: basically one-patch-per-review-comment.  That way I can easily
instertion-sort the patches into place and we retain a nice patch series.

This all spat a whopping great reject for reasons unknown, which I fixed by
hand.  Please check that it all still works.

whoa.  How does this work?

The tricksies in here aren't very understandable.  Can it be simplified?

stray semicolon.

A bit hard to read.  Normally we'd do

struct gpio_pin_attributes {
	struct sensor_device_attribute_2 output_enabled;
	struct sensor_device_attribute_2 totem_pole;
	struct sensor_device_attribute_2 pullup_enabled;
	struct sensor_device_attribute_2 debounced;
	struct sensor_device_attribute_2 locked;
};

because kernel-style is super-simple-style.
