Pramod,
sorry for delay in reply as I was travelling, still in Jet lag.

This change-set looks good.
IMO, you can send a patch for this change set.

Ideally this driver will not be removed, as other drivers depend on this, even the serial.

so I see no big achievement in adding the remove functionality, as this is going to be a dead code and would never be tested.

+ struct st_pinctrl *info = platform_get_drvdata(pdev);
+ struct device_node *np = pdev->dev.of_node;
+ struct device_node *child;
+ struct gpio_chip gpio_chip;
+ int bank = 0;
+

+ if (info->nbanks) {
+ for_each_child_of_node(np, child) {
+ if (of_property_read_bool(child, "gpio-controller")) {
We should not re-parse the DT nodes once we are done with it in the probe.

+ gpio_chip = info->banks[bank].gpio_chip;
+ gpiochip_remove(&gpio_chip);
+ bank++;
+ }
+ }
+ }
+

I think the logic is very simple:

while (nbanks--)
gpiochip_remove(&info->banks[bank++].gpio_chip))


thanks,
