I've dusted off my rpi and tried to see if it fails with cpuidle enabled.
As far as I can see, it always works fine. So, my only concern is that
there is a bunch of pm busy work done here for devices that do not need it,
including spinlocks, ktime. etc.
You could rename the dev field of gpio_rc_dev to pmdev and only do this
work if pm_dev != NULL. Or some other mechanism of doing this work
conditionally.
Having said that I'm not entirely sure this will make much of a difference.
