This could be problem. Say, we are doing request_any_context_irq(..) and gpio is over slow-bus,
so we naturally get into the threaded code, and in the thread handler we are calling gpio_get_value(..),
but in this case gpio_get_value could throw a warning that we should call gpio_get_value_cansleep(...)
because sleep attribute is added into the gpiolib hook implementation for these gpios.
Now suppose gpio is memory mapped and we enter into the hardirq and calling sleep variant into the
handler code will be naturally bad.
How about checking maysleep explicitly here while using the request_any_context_irq() call though
the semantics of gpiolib framework discourages that.
