Hi Cristi,

Adding the gpio list.

No problem on my side with this set of patches, it's consistent with what we
have.

I just want to share the full picture leading to this situation. You told me the
breakage appears after this commit:

commit 2ab73c6d8323fa1eb02c16c07c40ba2ed17da729
Author: Thierry Reding <treding@nvidia.com>

gpio: Support GPIO controllers without pin-ranges

Wake gpiochip_generic_request() call into the pinctrl helpers only if a
GPIO controller had any pin-ranges assigned to it. This allows a driver
to unconditionally use this helper if it supports multiple devices of
which only a subset have pin-ranges assigned to them.

We were used to defining pinctrl for all our pins. That is somewhat redundant
when the pin is requested through the gpiolib.

The pinctrl-at91 driver doesn't register any pin range. After this commit, the
gpio_generic_request() fails. The consequence is if we forgot to define the
pinctrl, the pin won't be muxed as a gpio.

At first glance, there is no trivial way to register the pin range in the
pinctrl-at91 driver. There is one driver for the pinctrl and one for the gpio.
I am open to suggestions to fix it in the pinctrl-at91 driver as well if there
is an elegant way (I have some in mind, but there are not) without having to
refactor the driver.

Regards

Ludovic
