Subject: ACPI / gpio: do not fall back to parsing _CRS when we get a deferral
From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 693bdaa164b40b7aa6018b98af6f7e40dbd52457 upstream.
If, while locating GPIOs by name, we get probe deferral, we should
immediately report it to caller rather than trying to fall back to parsing
unnamed GPIOs from _CRS block.
