That's a nice and clean GPIO driver.

I would change this:

port_priv->gc.label = "xr_gpios";

to something that is device-unique, like "xr-gpios-<serial number>"
which makes it easy to locate the GPIOs on a specific serial converter
for lab use. However the USB serial maintainers know better what
to use here. Whatever makes a USB-to-serial unique from a TTY
point of view is probably fine with me too.

My idea is that people might want to know which USB cable
this is sitting on, so I have this USB cable and from this label
I can always figure out which GPIO device it is.

Either way, it is not a super-big issue so:

Is this a off-the-shelf product that can be bought or is it mainly
integrated on boards?

I'm asking because I'm looking for a neat USB-to-serial adapter
with some GPIOs (2 is enough) that can be used for reset and
power cycling of lab boards using one simple piece of equipment.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
