The gpiod_direction_input_nonotify() function is supposed to return zero
if the direction for the pin is input. But instead it accidentally
returns GPIO_LINE_DIRECTION_IN (1) which will be cast into an ERR_PTR()
in gpiochip_request_own_desc(). The callers dereference it and it leads
to a crash.
I changed gpiod_direction_output_raw_commit() just for consistency but
returning GPIO_LINE_DIRECTION_OUT (0) is fine.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
