Subject: [PATCH v2] gpio: siox: explicitly support only threaded irqs

The gpio-siox driver uses handle_nested_irq() to implement its
interrupt support. This is only capable of handling threaded irq
actions. For a hardirq action it triggers a NULL pointer oops.
(It calls action->thread_fn which is NULL then.)

Prevent registration of a hardirq action by setting
gpio_irq_chip::threaded to true.

Could you add a Fixes tag? This looks like stable material.

Ah, we talked about this in the v1 thread---tglx and I agreed we want
it. That's:

Fixes: be8c8facc707 ("gpio: new driver to work with a 8x12 siox")

Best regards
Uwe
