How do we proceed from here? Can you fix your driver somehow to
init the valid mask before enabling the gpio?

Just include a hunk to the qcom driver reordering this call
at the same time. No need to make it separate patches,
it need to be tested together anyways.

I guess just switch the order of these two:

         ret = gpiochip_add_data(&pctrl->chip, pctrl);
         if (ret) {
                 dev_err(pctrl->dev, "Failed register gpiochip\n");
                 return ret;
         }

         ret = msm_gpio_init_valid_mask(chip, pctrl);
         if (ret) {
                 dev_err(pctrl->dev, "Failed to setup irq valid bits\n");
                 gpiochip_remove(&pctrl->chip);
                 return ret;
         }


the problem is that valid_mask is not a long/integer, is a struct that
needs to be malloced, and is malloc at gpiochip_add_data :(

Maybe we need a callback from the driver to init that mask just after
the allocation?

A fast grep shows that the only driver using need_valid_mask (not for
irq) is msm:

ricardo@neopili:~/curro/kernel-upstream$ git grep "need_valid_mask ="
| grep -v irq
drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c: gpiochip->need_valid_mask = true;
drivers/pinctrl/intel/pinctrl-cherryview.c: bool need_valid_mask =
!dmi_check_system(chv_no_valid_mask);
drivers/pinctrl/qcom/pinctrl-msm.c: chip->need_valid_mask =
msm_gpio_needs_valid_mask(pctrl);

so hacking something in the driver might not be a terrible idea.


IMO, hack up the driver and I'll test it. We can figure out what is needed to work, then determine what is the proper solution for that.
