I still think that bunch of definitions to wrap contaner_of():s will help.
Note, two of them you are using even in the code below, besides the attribute
show()/store() cases.

data = dir_attr_to_gpiod_data(dev_attr);
if (!data->direction_can_change)
mode = 0;

In the similar way:
data = edge_attr_to_gpiod_data(dev_attr);
if (gpiod_to_irq(data->desc) < 0)
mode = 0;
