[PATCH] gpio: pca953x: Fix warning when HW interrupts are rescheduled by the softirq tasklet

[Lothar Waßmann <LW@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When using e.g. the matrix_keymap driver with the gpio-pca953x driver,
the following warning may be issued when a keypress is detected:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3 at kernel/irq/manage.c:677 irq_nested_primary_handler+0x18/0x2c()

This happens when an IRQ is detected by the GPIO driver while the GPIO
client driver (matrix_keypad in this case) has disabled the irq for
the GPIO it has acquired. When the HW IRQ is being rescheduled by the
softirq thread, the primary IRQ handler is called for the nested IRQ
registered by the client driver rather than for the parent IRQ from
the GPIO driver.

This patch makes sure, that the parent_irq (gpio-pca953x) is
rescheduled rather than the nested irq registered by the matrix_keypad
driver.
Similar patches are most probably required for a bunch of other
drivers too.
