Another driver does take an arbitrary number, converts to a descriptor and calls for this API. Is there any (potential) problem?

But it's great to know I'm not the only one seeing it. Basically we need to The end-goal should be to make gpio_to_desc() an internal GPIOLIB symbol. There are still around 10 users outside drivers/gpio/ that will need to be addressed in one way or another. Preferably by being converted to using descriptors.

Conversely desc_to_gpio() as well, here is one fix for the current merge window (yeah I keep churning away at this...) https://lore.kernel.org/alsa-devel/20230926-descriptors-asoc-ti-v1-2-60cf4f8adbc5@linaro.org/ Yours, Linus Walleij
