Can you give more details on when and why link fails ?

You are adding a WARN(), I understand it mean the function should never 
ever be called. Shouldn't it be dropped completely by the compiler ? In 
that case, no call to gpiochip_request_own_desc() should be emitted and 
so link should be ok.

If link fails, it means we still have unexpected calls to 
gpiochip_request_own_desc() or gpiochip_free_own_desc(), and we should 
fix the root cause instead of hiding it with a WARN().
