Ben Dooks a342d215c2 gpio: fix probe() error return in gpio driver probes
A number of drivers in drivers/gpio return -ENODEV when confronted with
missing setup parameters such as the platform data.  However, returning
-ENODEV causes the driver layer to silently ignore the driver as it
assumes the probe did not find anything and was only speculative.

To make life easier to discern why a driver is not being attached, change
to returning -EINVAL, which is a better description of the fact that the
driver data was not valid.

Also add a set of dev_dbg() statements to the error paths to provide an
better explanation of the error as there may be more that one point in the
driver.

Dmitry Baryshkov c557fa3e4c gpio: max7301: fix the race between chip addition and pins reconfiguration
There is a small race and code ugliness in max7301: pins are reconfigured
after the chip is registered.  Swap these calls so that the device is
registered in correct state.

Also this fixes the comile-time warning about unchecked gpiochip_remove.

David Brownell 673c0c0038 spi: core and gpio expanders use subsys_init
Make the SPI external GPIO expander drivers register themselves at
subsys_initcall() time when they're statically linked, and make the SPI
core do its driver model initialization earlier so that's safe.

SOC-integrated GPIOs are available starting very early -- often before
initcalls start to run, or earily in arch_initcall() at latest -- so this
improves consistency, letting more subsystems rely on GPIOs being usable
by their own subsys_initcall() code.

Juergen Beisert 0c36ec3147 gpio: gpio driver for max7301 SPI GPIO expander
Maxim's MAX7301 is an SPI GPIO expander with 28 GPIOs.  Note: MAX7301's
interrupt feature is not supported yet.
