Thanks for your patch!

I am wondering whether this needs a check for !IS_ERR_OR_NULL(descs),
to handle the !CONFIG_GPIOLIB and gpiod_get_array_optional() cases?

Slightly related: shouldn't gpiod_put_array() (both the implementation
and the !CONFIG_GPIOLIB dummy) allow the caller to pass NULL, to
streamline the gpiod_get_array_optional() case?
