> ShawnI just realize this patch is trying to fix this issue from spmi driver
level. Actually I had submitted a change in spmi-gpio driver to fix
this by ignoring the GPIOs which the IRQ is not owned by APPS
processor. The maintainer hasn't reviewed it yet:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-arm-msm/msg28849.html
I am trying to understand if my patch is still needed if Kiran's patch
get merged, the intention for my patch originally is for fixing the same
probe failure, but it could hide the GPIOs which are not allowed to use
from the pinctrl driver level. Please help to suggest.
Thanks
