Linux logs new warning `gpio gpiochip0: gpiochip_add_data_with_key: get_direction failed: -22`

[Paul Menzel]

Dear Bartosz,


On the Intel Kaby Lake Dell XPS 13 9360, Linux 6.14-rc3+ with your 
commit 9d846b1aebbe (gpiolib: check the return value of 
gpio_chip::get_direction()) prints 52 new warnings:

    $ dmesg

Judging from the commit messages, this is expected. But what should a 
user seeing this do now?

Also, it probably should not be applied to the stable series, as people 
might monitor warnings and new warnings in stable series might be 
unexpected.


Kind regards,

Paul
