I see a potential problem with this patch:

If irq_get_irq_data fails, it will return NULL, resulting on a
segmentation fault on irqd_is_level_type:



#define __irqd_to_state(d) ACCESS_PRIVATE((d)->common, state_use_accessors)


I believe that we need to add error checks here

Also why do not call irq_get_irq_data() and  irqd_is_level_type()
before return? There is no need to do that work if the probe
determines that it is not a fintek chip.


Greg, this is already queued for 4.7.... what shall we do here?


Regards!
