If a platform device's remove callback returns non-zero, the device core emits a warning and still removes the device and calls the devm cleanup callbacks. So it's not save to not unregister the gpiochip because on the next request to a GPIO the driver accesses kfree()'d memory. Also if an IRQ triggers, the freed memory is accessed. Instead rely on the GPIO framework to ensure that after gpiochip_remove() all GPIOs are freed and so the corresponding IRQs are unmapped. This is a preparation for making platform remove callbacks return void.

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.
