Subject[PATCH v2] gpiolib: Defer on non-DT find_chip_by_name() failure
Date
Avoid replication of error code conversion in non-DT GPIO consumers'
code by returning -EPROBE_DEFER from gpiod_find() in case a chip
identified by its label in a registered lookup table is not ready.

See https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/5/30/176 for example case.

Changelog
v2: fix typo (latar -> later) - thanks Boris and Andy for catching this

I'm not sure if adding both Suggested-by: and Reviewed-by: heades both
with the same person name is in line with good practices, please remove
one if not.

Thanks,
Janusz
