Subject: [GIT PULL] GPIO fixes for v4.7, take four

Hi Linus,

more GPIO fixes. Most prominent the gpiod_to_irq() fix brought to my
attention by Hans de Goede. The hardening patch is a consequence
of the reasoning around that bug.

Please pull them in!

Yours,
Linus Walleij

  gpio: make library immune to error pointers (2016-06-17 18:12:19 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
GPIO fixes for the v4.7 cycle:

- It was discovered that too many parts of the kernel does not
  respect gpiod_to_irq() returning zero for an invalid IRQ.
  While this gets fixed, we need to make it return negative
  errorcodes again.

- Harden the library a bit when passed error pointers. It is
  a bug to use these, but let's be helpful and warn the users.

- Fix an uninitialized spinlock in the 104-idi-48 driver.
