GPIO fixes for the v4.7 cycle:
- It was discovered that too many parts of the kernel does not
respect gpiod_to_irq() returning zero for an invalid IRQ.
While this gets fixed, we need to make it return negative
errorcodes again.
- Harden the library a bit when passed error pointers. It is
a bug to use these, but let's be helpful and warn the users.
- Fix an uninitialized spinlock in the 104-idi-48 driver.
gpio: make library immune to error pointers
Most functions that take a GPIO descriptor in need to check the
descriptor for IS_ERR(). We do this mostly in the VALIDATE_DESC()
macro except for the gpiod_to_irq() function which needs special
handling.
