[PATCH v9 6/9] gpio: Leverage revocable for accessing struct gpio_chip

From: Tzung-Bi Shih

Date: Mon Apr 27 2026 - 10:03:10 EST


Struct gpio_device now provides a revocable provider to the underlying
struct gpio_chip. Leverage revocable for accessing the struct
gpio_chip.

---
v9:
- New to the series.
- Rename "chip_rp" -> "chip_rev".

v4 - v8:
- Doesn't exist.

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260213092958.864411-11-tzungbi@xxxxxxxxxx
- Change revocable API usages accordingly.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260203061059.975605-11-tzungbi@xxxxxxxxxx
- Separate from v1(a) for excluding gpio_chip_guard and combine v1(b).

v1(a):
- https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260116081036.352286-23-tzungbi@xxxxxxxxxx
v1(b):
- https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260116081036.352286-19-tzungbi@xxxxxxxxxx
