For now just enable it in the probe function to allow i2c
access. Disabling also means resetting the register values
to default and according to the datasheet does not give
power savings

Tested on Kobo Clara HD.

Nitpicking... but I don't think linux/gpio.h is used anymore.

the enable gpio is optional so if it fails you log the error and move on

Also on driver removal did you want to set the GPIO to low to disable 
the device to save power?

well, if the gpio is not there, then it returns NULL.
It might return e.g. -EDEFER. So I need to check for errors here.

page 5 of the datasheet says:

Ishdn = Typ. 1µA max. 4µA.
For HWEN=Vin, I2c shutdown  (I guess this means outputs powered off)
ond for HWEN=GND.

So are we really saving something here?

Andreas

Isn't the effect of this to cope gracefully if enable-gpios is absent
but to fail with an error if enable-gpios exists and is broken. I
thought this code pattern is fairly common.

As it happens I offered to opposite feedback for v1:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2019-September/234918.html

Basically if the power matters then we should take care of things in the
PM code path (which for this driver means reacting properly to
suspended flag when updating the brightness). If the power doesn't matter
then, given unallocated GPIO pins are in an unknown state anyway, there
is no point in tidying up because we don't know what value to restore.
