Subject: [PATCH] gpio: core: Do not call get_direction in atomic context for sleeping gpio
When adding the gpiochip, the GPIO HW drivers' callback get_direction()
get called in atomic context. Some of the GPIO HW drivers can sleep when
accessing the register and hence it can create the sleeping call in
atomic context.
Call get_direction() in non-atomic context from gpiochip_add() if GPIO
HW driver is having sleepable callback i.e. chip->can_sleep = 1.

This is found when implementing the get_direction() of max77620 on 20160520
