If by mainline you mean 4.1+, the code is very different and looks much
more like the 3.10 version than the FSL 3.14.

My change simply matches the behaviour (and indeed uses the same construct)
as the 3.10 kernel.

Also, as long as I can recall, reading a GPIO pin has returned 0/1,
except for a small period during 2.6 where it was broken and quickly
repaired.
