OK I see what you want to do...

If you want to use this then use:

if (p->chip_hwnum == U16_MAX)

from <linux/limits.h>

/* if U16_MAX then chip_label is the named line we are looking for */

But the member name "chip_label" is completely abused with this
setup, it should then be renamed as part of the patch set to something
like chip_label_or_line_name so it is clear what it is or
just name it "const char *key".

But I'm not entirely convinced about reusing the existing
struct gpio_lookup for this.

What about constructing a new lookup struct specifically for this?
I understand it is more work, but will that not be more
maintainable and readable?

Yours,
Linus Walleij
