[PATCH v9 3/9] gpio: Add revocable provider handle for struct gpio_chip
From: Tzung-Bi Shih
Date: Mon Apr 27 2026 - 10:04:29 EST
The underlying chip can be removed asynchronously. `gdev->srcu` is used
to ensure the synchronization before accessing `gdev->chip`.
Revocable encapsulates the details. Add revocable provider handle for
the corresponding struct gpio_chip in struct gpio_device so that it can
start to hide the synchronization details.

v9:
- New to the series.
- Use static allocated resource provider.
- Rename "chip_rp" -> "chip_rev".
v4 - v8:
- Doesn't exist.
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260213092958.864411-8-tzungbi@xxxxxxxxxx
- Change revocable API usages accordingly.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260203061059.975605-8-tzungbi@xxxxxxxxxx
- Change usages accordingly after applying
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260129143733.45618-2-tzungbi@xxxxxxxxxx.
- Add __rcu for `chip_rp`.
- Pass pointer of pointer to revocable_provider_revoke().
- Rebase accordingly after applying
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260203060210.972243-1-tzungbi@xxxxxxxxxx.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260116081036.352286-13-tzungbi@xxxxxxxxxx
