Please, move it out of these fields, the below is coupled with reg_dir_*
in some way.

Having this somewhere near to

	struct gpio_chip gpio_chip;

above makes more sense.

This is not used, it's for guard()() case.

Yep, but also makes sense to add

#define GPIO_REGMAP_RUNTIME_ACQUIRE(_dev, _var)			\
	ACQUIRE(gpio_regmap_runtime_try, _var)(_dev)

#define GPIO_REGMAP_RUNTIME_ACQUIRE_ERR(_var_ptr)		\
	ACQUIRE_ERR(gpio_regmap_runtime, _var_ptr)

Fits a single line.

Oh, this needs synchronisation of the ordering of members and kernel-doc
descriptions. Not a problem for you or in your patch series, just let's
try to find the best fit for a new member from day 1.

Like in the above local structure I suggest to put this just after

	struct regmap *regmap;
