Turns out there are correctness issues with both the gpiolib conversion and
the revocable design itself that can lead to use-after-free and hung tasks (see
[1] and patch 3/3).

Revert the revocable implementation until a redesign has been proposed and
evaluated properly.
I'll work on addressing the discovered issues and send follow-up fixes.  I
believe keeping the current series in linux-next would be beneficial, as it
allows for easier testing and wider evaluation by others, rather than
reverting at this stage.
FWIW: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260129143733.45618-2-tzungbi@kernel.org/ (local)
and https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260129143733.45618-4-tzungbi@kernel.org/ (local)
are the proposed fixes.
