4.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jonas Gorski <jonas.gorski@xxxxxxxxx> commit e6b03ab63b4d270e0249f96536fde632409dc1dc upstream. When called from prom init code, ar7_gpio_init() will fail as it will call gpiochip_add() which relies on a working kmalloc() to alloc the gpio_desc array and kmalloc is not useable yet at prom init time. Move ar7_gpio_init() to ar7_register_devices() (a device_initcall) where kmalloc works.
