3.16.7-ckt6 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Hans Holmberg <hans.holmberg@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 7b8792bbdffdff3abda704f89c6a45ea97afdc62 upstream.
of_get_named_gpiod_flags fails with -EPROBE_DEFER in cases
where the gpio chip is available and the GPIO translation fails.
This causes drivers to be re-probed erroneusly, and hides the
real problem(i.e. the GPIO number being out of range).
