This looks good to me.  Assuming it compiles cleanly:

Reviewed-by: Alex Elder <elder@linaro.org>

On another subject:

Johan might disagree, but I think it would be nice to make
the definitions of the Greybus device types as static (private)
and make the is_gb_host_device() etc. functions real functions
rather than static inlines in <linux/greybus.h>.

It turns out that all of the is_gb_*() functions are called only
from drivers/greybus/core.c; they could all be moved there rather
than advertising them in <linux/greybus.h>.
