gpio_get_value() is an architecture-specific function whereas
gpio_get_value_cansleep() is not. Hence all architectures will now be
forced to use the same code. Why is this OK?

Asides:

The duplication of code between __gpio_get_value() and
gpio_get_value_cansleep() is daft.

The comment over gpio_get_value_cansleep() sucks mud rocks.
