Hi Pavel,

Thank you for the review.

Hi!

This makes the driver use the data pointer added to the gpio_chip
to store a pointer to the state container instead of relying on
container_of().

Okay, so this is a cleanup that makes sense for mainline.

[PL: Fixes 6e52cced1aa58 ("gpio: rcar: Implement gpiochip.set_multiple()")]

Does it fix set_multiple? ... seems so.

Fixing set_multiple is possible with this oneliner, right?

@@ -541,7 +532,7 @@ static int gpio_rcar_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
irq_chip->irq_release_resources = gpio_rcar_irq_release_resources;
irq_chip->flags= IRQCHIP_SET_TYPE_MASKED | IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND;

-ret = gpiochip_add(gpio_chip);
+ret = gpiochip_add_data(gpio_chip, p);
if (ret) {
dev_err(dev, "failed to add GPIO controller\n");
goto err0;

The patch is okay and now I understand why you want it. It would have
been nice if changelog told me directly.

My bad.

Can set_multiple use container_of() too? We get less differences
between 4.4 and 4.4-cip that way, and it is still one-liner.

It could use gpio_to_priv(), but since there was an commit upstream already I just pulled it in.

I have now posted a oneliner patch (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11756155/)

Let me know if you if you are OK with the patch or I shall post a one-liner.

Please drop the current patch

Cheers,
Prabhakar
