[RFC/RFT PATCH 3/3] gpiolib: make gpio irqchip compatible with sparse_irq

From: Grygorii Strashko
Date: Sat Jul 08 2017 - 18:45:06 EST


Now IRQ mappings are always created for all (allowed) GPIOs in gpio irqchip in
gpiochip_irqchip_add_key() which goes against the idea of SPARSE_IRQ and,
as result, leads to:
- increasing of memory consumption because of allocated IRQ descriptors most
of which will never ever be used (especially on platform with a
high number of GPIOs)
- imposibility to use GPIO irqchip APIs by gpio drivers when HW implements
GPIO IRQ functionality as IRQ crossbar/multiplexer which has only limited
number of IRQ outputs (example from [1], all GPIOs can be mapped on only 8
IRQs).

Hence, remove static IRQ mapping code from gpiochip_irqchip_add_key() and
instead replace irq_find_mapping() with irq_create_mapping() in
gpiochip_to_irq(). Also add additional gpiochip_irqchip_irq_valid() calls
in gpiochip_to_irq() and gpiochip_irq_map().

After this change gpio2irq mapping will happen the following way when GPIO
irqchip APIs are used by gpio driver:
- IRQ mappings will be created statically if driver passes first_irq>0
vlaue in gpiochip_irqchip_add_key().
- IRQ mappings will be created dynamically from gpio_to_irq() or
of_irq_get().
