[PATCH v2 04/11] gpio: Ensure struct gpio_chip for gpiochip_setup_dev()
Posted by Tzung-Bi Shih 5 days, 7 hours ago
Ensure struct gpio_chip for gpiochip_setup_dev().  This eliminates a few
checks for struct gpio_chip.

Same comment as patch 3. I don't like seeing both gpio_chip and gpio_device
being passed to the same function. If you already dereferenced gpio_chip, pass
it on its own and get the address of the associated devices from its member
pointer.

Ack, will fix in the next version.
