If a driver consuming the GPIO chip is being probed at the same time as
the GPIO driver is registering the chip, it is possible for the
consuming driver to see the ->descs array in an uninitialised state.
For example, the gpio-keys-polled driver can fail like this:
kernel: gpiod_request: invalid GPIO (no device)
kernel: gpio-keys-polled PRP0001:07: failed to get gpio: -22
kernel: gpio-keys-polled: probe of PRP0001:07 failed with error -22
This patch makes gpiochip_add() hold the lock protecting gpio_devices
until it has finished setting desc->gdev on the newly inserted list
entry.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
