- Drop the lock before reading out the GPIO direction
setting in drivers supporting the .get_direction()
callback: some of them may be slowpath.
- Flush GPIO direction setting before locking a GPIO as an
IRQ: some electronics or other poking around in the
registers behind our back may have happened, so flush
the direction status before trying to lock the line for
use by IRQs.
- Bail out silently when asked to perform operations on
NULL GPIO descriptors. That is what all the get_*_optional()
is about: we get optional GPIO handles, if they are not
there, we get NULL.
- Handle compatible ioctl() correctly: we need to convert
the ioctl() pointer using compat_ptr() here like everyone
else.
- Disable the broken .to_irq() on the LPC32xx platform.
The whole irqchip infrastructure was replaced in the
last merge window, and a new implementation will be
needed.

be slowpath.

electronics or other poking around in the registers behind our back
