These patches try to fix following bugs which is found by my gpio mockup driver and testscript[1](will send them later): 1. Could not check the overlap if the new gpiochip is the secondly gpiochip. 2. Could not check the overlap if the new gpiochip is overlap with the left of gpiochip. 3. Allow overlap of base of different gpiochip. 4. Allow to insert an empty gpiochip The first patch fix the first three by rewriting the logic in the gpiochip_add_to_list. The second patch fix the fourth bug in gpiochip_add. I do not found the checker in gpiolib.c. Hope it is not a redundant logic.
