Hi Andy,

I use gpiod_get_array() to get a gpio array form the node of DTS.

the node is as follows:
...
gpios = <&gpio1 0 0>, <&gpio1 10 0>;
...
first scan 0 pin of gpio1, its index and hardware number are 0,
the (descs->ndescs == 0 && gpio_chip_hwgpio(desc) == 0) is true and 
descs->info = array_info. then scan 10 pin , its index is 1 ,but 
hardware number is 10 , the  (gpio_chip_hwgpio(desc) != descs->ndescs) 
is true. array_info = NULL, Just make array_info point to NULL, Did't 
clean descs->info memory or point it to NULL. Should the array_info 
point to memory be cleared ? if not cleared ,I use 
gpiod_set_array_value_cansleep() setting pin 10 of gpio1 is invalid. I 
found that the set_mask and get_mask vlaues of descs->info are seted 
0x03 in gpiod_get_array(), I think 0x401 is their correct value. Thank 
you review
