[PATCH 4.9 037/120] gpio: Move freeing of GPIO hogs before numbing of the device

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Jan 18 2017 - 05:54:08 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5018ada69a04c8ac21d74bd682fceb8e42dc0f96 upstream.

When removing a gpiochip that uses GPIO hogging (e.g. by unloading the
chip's DT overlay), a warning is printed:

gpio gpiochip8: REMOVING GPIOCHIP WITH GPIOS STILL REQUESTED

This happens because gpiochip_free_hogs() is called after the gdev->chip
pointer is reset to NULL. Hence __gpiod_free() cannot determine the
chip in use, and cannot clear flags nor call the optional chip-specific
.free() callback.

Move the call to gpiochip_free_hogs() up to fix this.
