protected pins and debugfs

[Sodagudi Prasad <psodagud@codeaurora.org>]

Hi All,

This is regarding the protected pins configuration reading and printing 
from non-secure operating systems.
GPIO framework is checking whether pin is in use(flag FLAG_REQUESTED) or 
not in gpiolib_dbg_show().

If GPIO chip drivers are overriding the dbg_show callback, drivers are 
not checking whether a pin is really in use or not to print 
configuration details.
     if (chip->dbg_show)
                 chip->dbg_show(s, chip);
         else
                 gpiolib_dbg_show(s, gdev);

I think, reserved-gpio-ranges solution may move the problem to dts 
settings maintenance as they change from platform to platform.

Can we use a simple/common solution like below?  It will check whether a 
pin is in use or not before printing configuration data with the help of 
gpiochip_is_requested().
