There is an unconditional mutex_lock(&gdp_mutex) above this, so the
idea appears to be to leave the function with the mutex locked in some
cases.

That is far away from straightforward, so there needs to be a
kerneldoc comment explaining that behavior.

It also may be necessary to annotate the function with __acquires().

So it needs to be unlocked in the error case too, because the
conditional unlock down the road doesn't work then, right?

There needs to be a comment to that effect here, please.

The name is long and it doesn't explain much IMO.

I guess the idea is to pair this wrapper with unlock_if_glue_dir() to
produce a kind of lock/unlock pattern, but this doesn't work anyway
IMO because of the extra glue dir arg that needs to be passed to
unlock_if_glue_dir().

I would just use the raw __get_device_parent(dev, parent, true)
instead which should be clear enough as long as the (missing now)
kerneldoc comment (and possibly annotation) is added to it.

This can be written in fewer lines of code and one negation less as follows:

if (live_in_glue_dir(glue_dir, dev))
       mutex_unlock(&gdp_mutex);

which IMO is self-explanatory, so the comment is redundant.

And I would use it directly, without the static wrapper around it,
possibly with a comment to say that it drops the mutex possibly
acquired by __get_device_parent().
