Subject: [PATCH v2] pinctrl-exynos5440: Use off-stack memory for pinctrl_gpio_range

The range is registered into a linked list which can be referenced
throughout the lifetime of the driver. Ensure the range's memory is useful
for the same lifetime by adding it to the driver's private data structure.

The bug was introduced in the driver's initial commit, which was present in
v3.10.

Since v1:

* Add range member kerneldoc addressing Tomasz Figa's comment

This is my first contribution to the kernel, so hopefully I've followed all the
relevant documentation. If not, please let me know and point me in the right
direction!

I don't have the means to test the patch, but it compiles. Someone with
appropriate hardware should probably give it a spin. From the responses it
seems that few might have access, and given the nature of the bug it might be
the case that no-one has complained because no-one is affected - is it worth
maintaining going forward?

Thank you for your contribution. You already received positive feedback
on v1 of this patch: Tomasz acked it ("acked-by") and I reviewed it
("reviewed-by"). These are called "tags".

When you resubmit patches (unless there is a significant change in the
patch) please always put accumulated tags after existing tags. Usually
after signed-off-by, in this case after Cc-stable, so this would look like:

Okay, I wasn't sure about that. Thanks for the clarification and I'll
do so in the future.

In any case, I think this is ready for applying with the tags above. Thanks.
