Use in_task() instead of block?

Remove gratuitous whitespace changes.
If you dislike the formatting then suggest it in a separate patch.

The comment is very hw timestamp centric. It should just be something
along the lines of "only allow one event clock source".

So if you fail to disable the hw timestamp then you fail the set_config?
Does that make sense?
It should be impossible to fail, as per the preceding edge_detector_stop(),
or any failure in this context is irrelevant and so can be ignored.

The error code here can come from the pinctrl timestamp_control(), so it
should be sanitised before being returned to userspace.

Potential race on gpiod_is_hw_timestamp_enabled() and the call to
gpiod_hw_timestamp_control()?
Why not put the gpiod_is_hw_timestamp_enabled() check inside
gpiod_hw_timestamp_control()?
And the gpiod_hw_timestamp_control() call should be moved inside
gpiod_free(), or more correctly gpiod_free_commit().
i.e. whenever you free the gpio you release any associated hw timestamp.

Comment can fit on one line, and probably isn't even necessary - the
code is clear enough.

If there is any need or intent to support multiple clock sources then
avoid creeping API changes and add it now.
Either way, drop the comment.
