4.2.8-ckt7 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Bamvor Jian Zhang <bamvor.zhangjian@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 5ed41cc4baaf4127661d2a8f8f2ee6e3085e0fa9 upstream. We need to check if number of gpio is positive if there is no such check in devicetree or acpi or whatever called before gpiochip_add. I suppose that devicetree and acpi do not allow insert gpiochip with zero number but I do not know if it is enough to ignore this check in gpiochip_add.
