For historical reasons gpiod_set_value() and its variants don't have a
return value. However, we now support all kinds of hardware that can
fail to set a line value: I2C, SPI, USB (hot-unpluggable chips), etc.
I want to rework the GPIO subsystem to make these functions return int
and become able to indicate failures. Build-bot complained about my
series[1] and pointed at this driver after the interface for
gpiod_set_value_cansleep() changed in patch 1. This is why I want to
fix it, get it into my tree and then pick up the series.

Sorry for not explaining it in detail earlier.
