Thanks, Mark!

I have a question.
Do you mean the dependency of CONFIG_GENERIC_GPIO in this driver?

If yes, lp8788-ldo driver still works.
If the gpio_request_one() gets failed on loading the driver, then the lp8788-ldo
driver refers to register based by default.
So LDOs can be enabled/disabled by the I2C, not external GPIO pins.
In that case, GPIO functions are not invoked any more.
