From cfe102f63308c8c8e01199a682868a64b83f653e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bartosz Golaszewski Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2023 16:29:23 +0200 Subject: gpiolib: provide gpio_device_find() gpiochip_find() is wrong and its kernel doc is misleading as the function doesn't return a reference to the gpio_chip but just a raw pointer. The chip itself is not guaranteed to stay alive, in fact it can be deleted at any point. Also: other than GPIO drivers themselves, nobody else has any business accessing gpio_chip structs. Provide a new gpio_device_find() function that returns a real reference to the opaque gpio_device structure that is guaranteed to stay alive for as long as there are active users of it.
