Subject: [PATCH v4 03/10] gpio: sysfs: only get the dirent reference for
 the value attr once

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@...aro.org>

There's no reason to retrieve the reference to the sysfs dirent every
time we request an interrupt, we can as well only do it once when
exporting the GPIO.
