[PATCH 09/21] gpiolib: reluctantly provide gpio_device_get_chip()

From: Bartosz Golaszewski
Date: Tue Sep 05 2023 - 15:13:01 EST


From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@xxxxxxxxxx>

The process of converting all unauthorized users of struct gpio_chip to
using dedicated struct gpio_device function will be long so in the
meantime we must provide a way of retrieving the pointer to struct
gpio_chip from a GPIO device.
