[ Upstream commit cfe102f63308c8c8e01199a682868a64b83f653e ]
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.
