This is caused by

    gpio: pch9: Use proper flow type handlers


as it adds

	__irq_set_handler_locked(d->irq, handle_edge_irq);

but handle_edge_irq() is not exported for modules (and inlined 
__irq_set_handler_locked() requires irq_to_desc() exported as well)

Thus the patch below fixes it; adding Thomas to CC to get his Ack for this 
first though.




From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@...e.cz>
Subject: [PATCH] genirq: export handle_edge_irq() and irq_to_desc()

Export handle_edge_irq() and irq_to_desc() to modules to allow them to
do things such as

	__irq_set_handler_locked(...., handle_edge_irq);

This fixes

	ERROR: "handle_edge_irq" [drivers/gpio/gpio-pch.ko] undefined!
	ERROR: "irq_to_desc" [drivers/gpio/gpio-pch.ko] undefined!

when gpio-pch is being built as a module.
