Some drivers use a single irqchip for multiple gpiochips. As a result the irqchip hooks are overridden for the first gpiochip that was added, but for the other gpiochip instances this should not happen again, otherwise we would go into an infinite recursion. Check for this, but also log a message that the driver should be fixed since this is bad practice. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@xxxxxxxxx> --- Ludovic, can you test this with your unmodified driver? In particular I'd like to see how many of these messages you get and how they look like in the kernel log. I think you should get 4 of these messages. Thanks!
