Subject: [RFC/RFT PATCH 0/3] gpiolib: make gpio irqchip compatible with sparse_irq

The idea of this changes was inspired by discussion [1].

Now IRQ mappings are always created for all (allowed) GPIOs in GPIO irqchip in
gpiochip_irqchip_add_key() and this goes against the idea of SPARSE_IRQ and,
as result, leads to:
- increasing of memory consumption because of allocated IRQ descriptors most
of which will never ever be used (especially on platform with a
high number of GPIOs).
- imposibility to use GPIO irqchip APIs by gpio drivers when HW implements
GPIO IRQ functionality as IRQ crossbar/multiplexer which has only limited
number of IRQ outputs (example from [1], all GPIOs can be mapped on only 8
IRQs).

Hence, remove static IRQ mapping code from gpiochip_irqchip_add_key() and
instead replace irq_find_mapping() with irq_create_mapping() in
gpiochip_to_irq(). Also add additional gpiochip_irqchip_irq_valid() calls
in gpiochip_to_irq() and gpiochip_irq_map().

After this change gpio2irq mapping will happen the following way when GPIO
irqchip APIs are used by gpio driver:
- IRQ mappings will be created statically if driver passes first_irq>0
vlaue in gpiochip_irqchip_add_key().
- IRQ mappings will be created dynamically from gpio_to_irq() or
of_irq_get().

Tested on am335x-evm and dra72-evm-revc.
- dra72-evm-revc: number of created irq mappings decreased from 402 -> 135
- am335x-evm: number of created irq mappings decreased from 188 -> 63

It's good to have more testing feedbacks for these patches
(personally I do not expect regressions, but who knows). One possible side
effect is "Cannot allocate irq_descs @ IRQ%d, assuming pre-allocated\n" message
during boot, but in this case it might be good to take a look on such GPIO
drivers to understand why they need to allocate IRQ descriptors.

This is obviously better and what I should have done from the beginning
had I only been smart enough, so what better to do than to throw this in
now for -next and see what happens :)

Patch applied.

This is the right thing to do.

This is obviously the right way to do it.

Hi Linus,

Currently pxa25x and pxa27x are broken because of a .data section misalignment
(issue cross arm architectures), so testing is a bit hard for me right now. I'll
wait to have a working again tree to test, and then report.

Cheers.
