Subject: [patch 2.6.24-rc4-mm 2/6] gpiolib: more CONFIG_DEBUG_GPIO diagnostics

From: David Brownell <dbrownell@...rs.sourceforge.net>

Update gpiolib behavior with CONFIG_DEBUG_GPIO to include messages
on some fault paths that are common during bringup:  gpiochip_add,
gpio_request, and the two gpio_direction_* calls.

Also morph that CONFIG symbol into compile-time -DDEBUG.
