[PATCH] [BUGFIX] gpio: reject invalid gpio before getting gpio_desc

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Sat Jul 29 2017 - 04:01:52 EST


Check user-given gpio number and reject it before
calling gpio_to_desc() because gpio_to_desc() is
for kernel driver and it expects given gpio number
is valid (means 0 to 511).
If given number is invalid, gpio_to_desc() calls
WARN() and dump registers and stack for debug.
This means user can easily kick WARN() just by
writing invalid gpio number (e.g. 512) to
/sys/class/gpio/export.
This bug has been introduced by commit 0e9a5edf5d01
("gpio: fix deferred probe detection for legacy API")
