Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.14 083/102] gpio: grgpio: Make irq_chip immutable

From: Peng Fan <peng.fan@....com>

[ Upstream commit a30be40bf1d4437646b6885e7e4e71530e6f82c1 ]

Kernel warns about mutable irq_chips:
"not an immutable chip, please consider fixing!"

Constify grgpio_irq_chip, flag the irq_chip as IRQCHIP_IMMUTABLE, add the
new helper functions, and call the appropriate gpiolib functions.

Now let me analyze this commit against stable backporting criteria:
**YES** ## Analysis: ### 1. Bug Fix Nature This commit fixes a kernel
warning about mutable irq_chips with the message "not an immutable chip,
please consider fixing!" This is clearly a bug fix that addresses a
runtime warning that affects users. ### 2. Code Changes Analysis The
changes are minimal and well-contained within the grgpio driver: -
**Line 173**: Added `gpiochip_disable_irq(&priv->gc, d->hwirq);` call in
`grgpio_irq_mask()` function - **Line 183**: Added
`gpiochip_enable_irq(&priv->gc, d->hwirq);` call in
`grgpio_irq_unmask()` function - **Line 191**: Made `grgpio_irq_chip`
struct `const` (immutable) - **Lines 196-197**: Added
`IRQCHIP_IMMUTABLE` flag and `GPIOCHIP_IRQ_RESOURCE_HELPERS` macro ###
3. Pattern Consistency with Similar Commits This commit follows the
exact same pattern as the approved backport commits in the reference
examples: - **Similar to gpio-104-idio-16** (Status: YES): Same pattern
of making irq_chip const, adding IRQCHIP_IMMUTABLE flag, and adding
gpiochip_enable/disable_irq calls - **Similar to gpio-vf610** (Status:
YES): Identical changes - const irq_chip, IRQCHIP_IMMUTABLE, and proper
helper function calls - **Similar to gpio-104-dio-48e** (Status: YES):
Same transformation pattern ### 4. Risk Assessment - **Low Risk**:
Changes are mechanical transformations following established GPIO
subsystem patterns - **No Architectural Changes**: The commit doesn't
modify core logic, just adapts to new GPIO framework requirements -
**Well-Tested Pattern**: This exact change pattern has been applied
across multiple GPIO drivers successfully ### 5. Stable Tree Compliance
- **Important Bug Fix**: Eliminates kernel warnings that users encounter
- **Minimal Risk**: The changes follow well-established patterns already
proven in other GPIO drivers - **Contained Changes**: All modifications
are within a single driver file with no cross-subsystem impact - **No
New Features**: This is purely a compliance fix for the GPIO framework
requirements ### 6. Framework Compliance The commit brings the grgpio
driver into compliance with the modern GPIO framework's requirements for
immutable irq_chips, which is a necessary change to prevent kernel
warnings and ensure proper resource management. The changes are
essential for maintaining driver functionality in current kernels and
preventing user-visible warnings, making this an ideal candidate for
stable tree backporting.
