[PATCH 0/2] MIPS: TXx9: Move GPIO setup from .mem_setup() to .arch_init()

[Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

	Hi Ralf, Nemoto-san,

After upgrading my good old rbtx4927 from v3.13-rc3 to v4.6-rc3, I
noticed the following warning:

        gpiod_direction_output_raw: invalid GPIO

This is caused by the following code in arch/mips/txx9/rbtx4927/setup.c:

        static void __init rbtx4927_mem_setup(void)
        {

                /* TX4927-SIO DTR on (PIO[15]) */
                gpio_request(15, "sio-dtr");

returns -EPROBE_DEFER

                gpio_direction_output(15, 1);

VALIDATE_DESC triggers the warning.

Note that as of commit 54d77198fdfbc4f0 ("gpio: bail out silently on
NULL descriptors") the warning message is no longer printed, but the
underlying issue is still there.

Nemoto-san pointed out that the GPIO setup may now be done too early,
and that indeed is the case.  Hence the following patch series postpones
GPIO setup from .mem_setup() time to .arch_init() time to fix it, for
all TXx9 platforms.

This has been tested on RBTX4927 only.

Thanks!
