As far as I can see:

static inline int gpio_get_value_cansleep(unsigned gpio)
{
	return gpiod_get_raw_value_cansleep(gpio_to_desc(gpio));
}

int gpiod_get_raw_value_cansleep(const struct gpio_desc *desc)
{
	might_sleep_if(extra_checks);
	if (!desc)
		return 0;
	return _gpiod_get_raw_value(desc);
}

static bool _gpiod_get_raw_value(const struct gpio_desc *desc)
{
...
}

So how exactly do we get negative here?

Thanks.
