Add device managed APIs devm_gpiochip_add_data() and

and gpiochip_remove().
This helps in reducing code in error path and sometimes
removal of .remove callback for driver unbind.

I like the looks of this.
One comment: you must also patch
Documentation/driver-model/devres.txt
Sure,
Will you also follow up with a massive patch set making use of
this new API? I feel bad about merging an API if it's not used.
Thanks for only supporting this for the new _data() function.
Yes, I have planned for this to use this new API. This is just for
getting review whether fine or not to have devm_* APIs so that I can
make changes on rest of driver to use this new APIs.
