The assumption I made here was, gpiod_hw_timestamp_control will be

called after client has made at least gpdio_request call. With that assumption,

how two or more client/consumers call gpiod_hw_timestamp_control API

with the same gpio_desc? I believe its not allowed as gpiod_request call will

fail for the looser if there is a race and hence there will not be any race here

in this API. Let me know your thoughts.

yes, good catch. I forgot to clean that up.
