4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ricardo Ribalda Delgado <ricardo.ribalda@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 19a4fbffc94e41abaa2a623a25ce2641d69eccf0 upstream.
The current code only frees N-1 gpios if an error occurs during
gpiod_set_transitory, gpiod_direction_output or gpiod_direction_input.
Leading to gpios that cannot be used by userspace nor other drivers.
