To group all non-DT assignments in a single if block, instead of two.

Sorry, Couldn't get this one.

You mean pdata->norequest_mask?  It marks few gpios as unusable.
Because these pads might be used by other blocks of stmpe.

This is required by mfd-core.c, mfd_add_device() isn't it?

	if (parent->of_node && cell->of_compatible) {
		for_each_child_of_node(parent->of_node, np) {
			if (of_device_is_compatible(np, cell->of_compatible)) {
				pdev->dev.of_node = np;
				break;
			}
		}
	}
