This may be a total corner-case but for consistency and completeness I think it makes sense to also send out line state change events on actions triggered from the GPIO sysfs class. The first two patches use cleanup helpers in sysfs code. The next three change the code to emit notifications on line export (unexport is already handled) and active_low & edge changes. One last thing I considered was also notifying user-space whenever gpiochip_un/lock_as_irq() is called but that doesn't make much sense as it's largely independent from the GPIO core and can be called for both requested and available lines whenever someone requests an interrupt from a GPIO controller.
