This uses the new API for tagging GPIO lines as in use by
IRQs. This enforces a few semantic checks on how the underlying
GPIO line is used.

Also assign the gpio_chip.dev pointer to be used for error
messages.

Hi Barry, it's be great if you could test this so I can just
add it to the v3.14 series.

Yes that is the specific use of that flag right now.

This question has come up a lot recently as we recently established
that irqchip and gpiolib APIs are orthogonal, just like you say.

So the problem is with the established semantic that
irqchips and gpiochips are orthogonal, not with this
particular patch, right?

Muxing is the responsibility of the pin control pin mux
subsystem and not GPIO.

If you require pinctrl_request_gpio() to be called from the
gpiolib driver for the pin to be muxed in, then this function must
be called from the irqchip side as well, e.g. from .irq_startup().

I think so.

Hm, you should study this problem and suggest the best
solution. In general I do not think it hurts to call
pinctrl_request_gpio() multiple times, and if it does maybe
that is something we want to fix?

Yours,
