[BUG] drivers/gpio: some possible sleep-in-atomic bugs
From: Jia-Ju Bai

According to drivers/gpio/gpio-grgpio.c, the kernel module may sleep
under a spinlock.
The function call paths are:
grgpio_remove (acquire the spinlock)
gpiochip_remove
gpiochip_sysfs_unregister
device_unregister --> may sleep
mutex_lock --> may sleep
grgpio_remove (acquire the spinlock)
gpiochip_remove
gpiochip_sysfs_unregister
gpiod_free
__gpiod_free
gpiod_unexport
device_unregister --> may sleep
mutex_lock --> may sleep
grgpio_remove (acquire the spinlock)
irq_domain_remove
mutex_lock --> may sleep
grgpio_irq_map (acquire the spinlock)
request_irq --> may sleep
grgpio_irq_unmap (acquire the spinlock)
free_irq --> may sleep
I do not find a good way to fix them, so I only report.
These possible bugs is found by my static analysis tool (DSAC) and
checked by my code review.
Thanks,
