Subject: [PATCH v1 0/2] Fix Nvidia BlueField-3 GPIO access

Fix Nvidia BlueField-3 GPIO access via libgpiod gpioset tool.
gpioset tool fails to modify the GPIO value due to the following:
1) the pinctrl-mlxbf3 driver defines mlxbf3_gpio_request_enable()
   to enable software to take control over a gpio. Only then can
   the gpio-mlxbf3 driver modify the direction and value of the
   gpio. mlxbf3_gpio_disable_free() gives control back to hardware
   and is called when the "gpioset" command is invoked.
   This cancels out the effort to change the GPIO value and
   direction. So mlxbf3_gpio_disable_free() needs to be removed.
2) the gpio-mlxbf3 driver calls gpiochip_generic_request() which
   calls mlxbf3_gpio_request_enable(). "pin_ranges" needs not to be
   empty for mlxbf3_gpio_request_enable() to be invoked. So
   gpio-mlxbf3 needs to populate "pin_ranges".

Asmaa Mnebhi (2):
  pinctrl: mlxbf3: Remove gpio_disable_free()
  gpio: mlxbf3: Support add_pin_ranges()
