[PATCH v7 01/20] gpiolib: cdev: desc_to_lineinfo should set info offset

From: Kent Gibson
Date: Sat Sep 05 2020 - 09:53:04 EST


Set the value of the line info offset in desc_to_lineinfo, rather than
relying on it being passed in the info. This makes the function behave
as you would expect from the name - it generates the line info
corresponding to a given GPIO desc.

There are some instances where this results in the offset being set when
it is already set in the info, but this is clearer especially considering
that, as part of the replacement of strncpy with strscpy and to ensure
kernel stack cannot be leaked to userspace, the info is initially zeroed
in a subsequent patch.
