Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] gpio: sysfs: send character device notifications
 for sysfs class events

This may be a total corner-case but for consistency and completeness I
think it makes sense to also send out line state change events on actions
triggered from the GPIO sysfs class.

The first two patches use cleanup helpers in sysfs code. The next three
change the code to emit notifications on line export (unexport is
already handled) and active_low & edge changes.

One last thing I considered was also notifying user-space whenever
gpiochip_un/lock_as_irq() is called but that doesn't make much sense as
it's largely independent from the GPIO core and can be called for both
requested and available lines whenever someone requests an interrupt
from a GPIO controller.

Changes in v3:
- Keep the unusual order of operations in value_store()
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241025-gpio-notify-sysfs-v2-0-5bd1b1b0b3e6@linaro.org

Changes in v2:
- Streamline the code even more by dropping unnecessary return code
  assignments
- use normal guards where scoped ones are overkill
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241024-gpio-notify-sysfs-v1-0-981f2773e785@linaro.org
