So first of all this code only keeps track of the wait_pin allocation from within the gpmc. If any other driver/code
allocated this pin than the evaluation gpiochip_request_own_desc() would fail since the pin hasn't been requested by the gpmc itself.
The testbit() only checks if this pin has been allocated by the gpmc itself. If yes, then the waitpin can be treated as shared wait pin. If no,
then another driver allocated the pin before and we return an error.

The gpmc must be able to release the wait_pin in the wait_pin_alloc_mask, that's true. The only section where the waitpin_desc is released 
can be found further down in this function:

err_cs:
	gpiochip_free_own_desc(waitpin_desc);

You're right. I must add the relase logic here as well.
