Subject: [PATCH 0/5] gpio: cdev: bail out of poll() if the device goes down

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@...aro.org>

Wake up all three wake queues (the one associated with the character
device file, the one for V1 line events and the V2 line request one)
when the underlying GPIO device is unregistered. This way we won't get
stuck in poll() after the chip is gone as user-space will be forced to
go back into a new system call and will see that gdev->chip is NULL.

Bartosz Golaszewski (5):
  gpio: cdev: ignore notifications other than line status changes
  gpio: cdev: rename the notifier block and notify callback
  gpio: cdev: wake up chardev poll() on device unbind
  gpio: cdev: wake up linereq poll() on device unbind
  gpio: cdev: wake up lineevent poll() on device unbind
