Subject: [ 03/11] gpiolib: Dont return -EPROBE_DEFER to sysfs, or for invalid gpios

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@...ux.intel.com>

commit ad2fab36d7922401c4576fb7ea9b21a47a29a17f upstream.

gpios requested with invalid numbers, or gpios requested from userspace via sysfs
should not try to be deferred on failure.
