[PATCH 1/2] gpio-ich: Check for pin availability at request time

[Jean Delvare]

Stop checking for pin availability in get functions. These functions
can be called repeatedly, so checking every time is bad for
performance.

Instead, check at pin request time. This only happens once, and we can
let the caller know of the unavailability much earlier.
