Subject[PATCH v2 4/4] gpio: don't let lockdep complain about inherently dangerous RCU usage
Date
From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

There are two legacy, deprecated functions - gpiod_to_chip() and
gpio_device_get_chip() - that still have users in tree. They return the
address of the SRCU-protected chip outside of the read-only critical
sections. They are inherently dangerous and the users should convert to
safer alternatives. Let's explicitly silence lockdep warnings by using
rcu_dereference_check(ptr, 1). While at it: reuse
gpio_device_get_chip() in gpiod_to_chip().

Fixes: d83cee3d2bb1 ("gpio: protect the pointer to gpio_chip in gpio_device with SRCU")
Reported-by: kernel test robot <oliver.sang@intel.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202402122234.d85cca9b-lkp@intel.com
