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.
