There is something weird with the kerneldoc. It is documenting something
else but not documenting the new member.

Anyway, so here:

Every chip will get their own lock class on the heap.

But I think it is a bit kludgy.

Is it not possible to have  the lock key in struct gpio_chip
be a real member instead of a pointer and get a per-chip
lock that way?

(...)
struct lock_class_key lock_key;

instead of:

struct lock_class_key  *lock_key;

-> problem solved, without kludgy header defines?

Yours,
