[PATCH v2] gpiolib: fix allocation of mixed dynamic/static GPIOs

From: Andreas Kemnade
Date: Fri Apr 28 2023 - 15:46:09 EST


If static allocation and dynamic allocation GPIOs are present,
dynamic allocation pollutes the numberspace for static allocation,
causing static allocation to fail.
Enfore dynamic allocation above GPIO_DYNAMIC_BASE.

Seen on a GTA04 when omap-gpio (static) and twl-gpio (dynamic)
raced:
[some successful registrations of omap_gpio instances]
[ 2.553833] twl4030_gpio twl4030-gpio: gpio (irq 145) chaining IRQs 161..178
[ 2.561401] gpiochip_find_base: found new base at 160
[ 2.564392] gpio gpiochip5: (twl4030): added GPIO chardev (254:5)
[ 2.564544] gpio gpiochip5: registered GPIOs 160 to 177 on twl4030
[...]
[ 2.692169] omap-gpmc 6e000000.gpmc: GPMC revision 5.0
[ 2.697357] gpmc_mem_init: disabling cs 0 mapped at 0x0-0x1000000
[ 2.703643] gpiochip_find_base: found new base at 178
[ 2.704376] gpio gpiochip6: (omap-gpmc): added GPIO chardev (254:6)
[ 2.704589] gpio gpiochip6: registered GPIOs 178 to 181 on omap-gpmc
[...]
[ 2.840393] gpio gpiochip7: Static allocation of GPIO base is deprecated, use dynamic allocation.
[ 2.849365] gpio gpiochip7: (gpio-160-191): GPIO integer space overlap, cannot add chip
[ 2.857513] gpiochip_add_data_with_key: GPIOs 160..191 (gpio-160-191) failed to register, -16
[ 2.866149] omap_gpio 48310000.gpio: error -EBUSY: Could not register gpio chip

On that device it is fixed invasively by
commit 92bf78b33b0b4 ("gpio: omap: use dynamic allocation of base")
but lets also fix that for devices where there is still
a mixture of static and dynamic allocation.

Changes in V2:
handle also the case of overlapping static allocation
across DYNAMIC_BASE
