No, gpio_get_value(_cansleep) return either zero or non-zero.
I think some I2C gpio chips just return zero when the read fails.
Also that's the return value if a gpiochip doesn't define the .get method.

Only problem: drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c contains this piece of wisdom:

/* Drivers MUST set GPIO direction before making get/set calls.  In
 * some cases this is done in early boot, before IRQs are enabled.
 [...]
 */
