Subject: [PATCH] gpiolib: Don't allow drivers to specify a base with DT

From: Mark Brown <broonie@...aro.org>

DT based systems should have no reason to use fixed GPIO numbers but some
drivers that work on both DT and non-DT platforms specify them anyway. In
order to improve robustness in cases where drivers use gpio_is_valid() to
check for a valid GPIO on data initialized to zero as a default and avoid
bugs due to assuptions about fixed numbers creeping in ignore any specified
base when DT is in use.
