The comment for this dbg_show says that it is supposed to return more
than what the generic code is showing, including de-glitching. That's
wrong because:

- this chip does not support deglitching,
- the code does not print anything extra compared to the generic
handler,
- its behavior is different because it skips unrequested GPIOs; the
generic code prints their names if they're assigned

There is an important difference, though. Previously, dbg_show would
re-check some registers to see if they still match what the regmap
thinks should be in there. This was semi-useful when develpoing the HW
board because it immediately pointed to SPI wiring problem if a CS
connection was missing (0xffs are easy to see). However, I do not think
that this makes much sense -- and one could always do this in some other
way if needed.

This patch seems to have fallen between the cracks.

Is this something that should still be applied? (Separately.)

Hi Linus, yes, I think that the patch has merit and should be applied.

With kind regards,
Jan
