Subject: [PATCH] gpio: regmap: move drvdata to config data

Drop gpio_regmap_set_drvdata() and instead add it to the configuration
data passed to gpio_regmap_register().

gpio_regmap_set_drvdata() can't really be used in a race free way. This
is because the gpio_regmap object which is needed by _set_drvdata() is
returned by gpio_regmap_register(). On the other hand, the callbacks
which use the drvdata might already be called right after the
gpiochip_add() call in gpio_regmap_register(). Therefore, we have to
provide the drvdata early before we call gpiochip_add().

Btw, I'm not sure how to handle this "was part of another patch by another
author" thing. Should I leave the Sob and just add mine? I certainly don't
want to take credit for work Matti had done. This patch isn't huge, but
still ;)

Ideally just stack Sign-offs it is called the "delivery path".

Even if it is just a subset of the original patch?

Yeah it's just an indication of whose hands typed thes characters.
Something with copyright law actually, nothing to do with actual

Author: should reflect the person who wrote the majority of the
