No, because:

static int _gpiod_get_raw_value(const struct gpio_desc *desc)
{
        struct gpio_chip        *chip;
        int offset;
        int value;

        chip = desc->chip;
        offset = gpio_chip_hwgpio(desc);
        value = chip->get ? chip->get(chip, offset) : -EIO;
        value = value < 0 ? value : !!value;
        trace_gpio_value(desc_to_gpio(desc), 1, value);
        return value;
}

This returns a negative error code or the value clamped to [0,1]
