Provide to_gpio_device() helper which can be utilized in the existing
and future code.

While at it, make sure it becomes no-op at compilation time.

This doesn't apply to my for-next branch, can you rebase and resend
(just this one, the other is applied).

The problem is that you don't merge or cherry-pick fixes into your
for-next branch and they are getting diverged.

In PDx86 subsystem we decided to cherry-pick the fixes into for-next.
Some other subsystems are doing back-merges (but I remember that Linus
T. complained about back merges, although I dunno if it's still
the case). Some subsystems merges their fixes into for-next, dunno
if it's the best practice either.

That said, this can be submitted after v6.2-rc1 is out.

I do merge tags if I need to. Normally you'd mention any requirements
for the series in the cover letter.

I have not sent any fixes so far in this release cycle BTW.

It's my fault. But thanks for clarifying the process.

Yes, that's now obvious...

Btw, since you are trying to fix a user space race, I would like to
postpone this since it will conflict with that one anyway.

I usually (A) let it conflict (Torvalds will solve) if it is small and
Rothwell fixed it up in next (B) back-merge some -rcN if is is big
and annoying or as last resort (C) apply the patch to for-next
(git will cope, but not elegant).
