instead of

for the same reason revocable_provider_revoke() takes a double pointer.
Otherwise this seems racy:
int revocable_init(struct revocable_provider __rcu *_rp, struct revocable *rev)
{
struct revocable_provider *rp;
if (!_rp)
return -ENODEV;
/*

Do I miss anything?
You're right. Will fix that.
