Subject: [PATCH] pinctrl: intel: Avoid potential glitches if pin is in GPIO
mode

When consumer requests a pin, in order to be on the safest side,
we switch it first to GPIO mode followed by immediate transition
to the input state. Due to posted writes it's luckily to be a single
I/O transaction.

However, if firmware or boot loader already configures the pin
to the GPIO mode, user expects no glitches for the requested pin.
We may check if the pin is pre-configured and leave it as is
till the actual consumer toggles its state to avoid glitches.

I've queued it up for 4.19, it was just a minor conflict with
e58926e781d8 ("pinctrl: intel: Use GENMASK() consistently").

However, for 4.14 and older:

Fixes: 7981c0015af2 ("pinctrl: intel: Add Intel Sunrisepoint pin controller and GPIO support")
Depends-on: f5a26acf0162 ("pinctrl: intel: Initialize GPIO properly when used through irqchip")

We need to take this "Depends-on" commit, but in the past we have
reverted it:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180427135732.999030511@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

So I didn't do anything with this patch for <=4.14.
