[PATCH 3/4] gpio: max732x: Fix possible deadlock

From: Semen Protsenko
Date: Tue Jan 13 2015 - 08:42:09 EST


This patch was derived from next one:
"gpio: fix pca953x set_type 'scheduling while atomic' bug".

After adding entry that consumes max732x GPIO as interrupt line to dts
file, deadlock appears somewhere in max732x probe function.

Deadlock caught by lockdep (from kernel log):
