Uggh.. thanks for the review and catching this..

Yes, indeed. this can easily be fixed. my bad. will convert this to a
module in the next rev.

I will wait a week before reposting next rev to see if there are
improvements necessary in other areas - specifically in the way
pinconf is being used and if there are any binding related comments.

Will be great to hear any feedback on the same as well.
