[PATCH v3] gpio: htc-egpio: use managed gpiochip registration
From: Pengpeng Hou
Date: Wed Jun 24 2026 - 09:19:36 EST
egpio_probe() registers each nested gpio_chip with gpiochip_add_data()
but ignores the return value. If one registration fails, probe still
returns success even though one of the chips was not published to
gpiolib.
Use devm_gpiochip_add_data() and fail probe if any chip registration
fails. This lets devres unwind already registered chips and prevents
the driver from publishing a partially initialized device.
Fixes: a1635b8fe59d ("[ARM] 4947/1: htc-egpio, a driver for GPIO/IRQ expanders with fixed input/output pins")
