This function already exist inside gpiolib, we were just reluctant to make it available to the kernel at large as the devm_* seemed to be enough for anyone. However we found out that regulators need to do their own lifecycle/refcounting on GPIO descriptors and explicitly call gpiod_put() when done with a descriptor, so export this function so we can hand the refcounting over to the regulator core for these descriptors after retrieveal.

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.
