There is something weird with the kerneldoc. It is documenting something
else but not documenting the new member.
Anyway, so here:

Every chip will get their own lock class on the heap.
But I think it is a bit kludgy.
Is it not possible to have the lock key in struct gpio_chip
be a real member instead of a pointer and get a per-chip
lock that way?
(...)
struct lock_class_key lock_key;
instead of:
struct lock_class_key *lock_key;
-> problem solved, without kludgy header defines?
