The helper function for adding a GPIO chip compiles in a lockdep
key for debugging, the same key is needed for nested chips as
well.

The macro construction is unreadable, replace this with two
static inlines instead.

The _gpiochip_irqchip_add prefixed function is not helpful,
rename it with gpiochip_irqchip_add_key() that tell us what the
function is actually doing.

<title>gpio: Move freeing of GPIO hogs before numbing of the device</title>

<id>5018ada69a04c8ac21d74bd682fceb8e42dc0f96</id>
<content type='text'>
When removing a gpiochip that uses GPIO hogging (e.g. by unloading the
chip's DT overlay), a warning is printed:

    gpio gpiochip8: REMOVING GPIOCHIP WITH GPIOS STILL REQUESTED

This happens because gpiochip_free_hogs() is called after the gdev-&gt;chip
pointer is reset to NULL. Hence __gpiod_free() cannot determine the
chip in use, and cannot clear flags nor call the optional chip-specific
.free() callback.

Move the call to gpiochip_free_hogs() up to fix this.

Building with an old toolchain, I ran into this warning:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x63eef0): Section mismatch in reference
  from the function mxs_gpio_probe() to the function
  .init.text:mxs_gpio_init_gc()

Clearly the annotation is wrong, since the function is called from the
non-init probe, so let's remove it.

Pull GPIO updates from Luinus Walleij:
 "Bulk GPIO changes for the v4.10 kernel cycle:

  Core changes:

   - Simplify threaded interrupt handling: instead of passing numbed
     parameters to gpiochip_irqchip_add_chained() we create a new call:
     gpiochip_irqchip_add_nested() so the two types are clearly
     semantically different. Also make sure that all nested chips call
     gpiochip_set_nested_irqchip() which is necessary for IRQ resend to
     work properly if it happens.

   - Return error on seek operations for the chardev.

   - Clamp values set as part of gpio[d]_direction_output() so that
     anything != 0 will be send down to the driver as "1" not the value
     passed in.

   - ACPI can now support naming of GPIO lines, hogs and holes in the
     GPIO lists.

  New drivers:

   - The SX150x driver was deemed unfit for the GPIO subsystem and was
     moved over to a combined GPIO+pinctrl driver in the pinctrl
     subsystem.

  New features:

   - Various cleanups to various drivers"

By default all pins are configured to use a glitch filter. Writing 1 to the
certain bit of the specific register might be useful in case someone needs to
bypass the glitch filter completely for a given GPIO pin.

This patch adds support for that in the Intel Merrifield GPIO driver.

The GPIO chardev is used for management tasks (allocating line and event
handles) and does neither support read() nor write() operations. Hence it
does not make much sense to allow seek operations.

Currently the chardev uses noop_llseek() for its seek implementation. This
function does not move the pointer and simply returns the current position
(always 0 for the GPIO chardev). noop_llseek() is primarily meant for
devices that can not support seek, but where there might be a user that
depends on the seek() operation succeeding. For newly added devices that
can not support seek operations it is recommended to use no_llseek(), which
will return an error. For more information see commit 6038f373a3dc
("llseek: automatically add .llseek fop").

Unfortunately this was overlooked when the GPIO chardev ABI was introduced.
But it is highly unlikely that since then userspace applications have
appeared that rely on being able to perform non-failing seek operations on
a GPIO chardev file descriptor. So it should be safe to change from
noop_llseel() to no_seek(). Also use nonseekable_open() in the chardev
open() callback to clear the FMODE_SEEK, FMODE_PREAD and FMODE_PWRITE flags
from the file. Neither of these should be set on a file that does not
support seek operations.
