[PATCH] gpio: Check if base is positive before calling gpio_is_valid()

From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Mon Nov 17 2014 - 09:32:10 EST


It doesn't make much sense to make some (possible expensive) calls to
gpio_is_valid() first, and to ignore the result if the base number is
negative. Check for a positive base number first.
