[PATCH v2 08/11] gpio: cdev: Leverage revocable for accessing struct gpio_chip

From: Tzung-Bi Shih

Date: Tue Feb 03 2026 - 01:13:01 EST


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

Signed-off-by: Tzung-Bi Shih <tzungbi@xxxxxxxxxx>

v2:
- Change usages accordingly after applying
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260129143733.45618-4-tzungbi@xxxxxxxxxx.
- Preserve a local storage for `struct revocable`.
- Combine multiple patches (see "v1:").

v1:
