[PATCH v3 1/1] gpiolib: Update the kernel documentation - add Return sections

[Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

$ scripts/kernel-doc -v -none -Wall drivers/gpio/gpiolib* 2>&1 | grep -w warning | wc -l
67

Fix these by adding Return sections. While at it, make sure all of
Return sections use the same style.
