Subject: [PATCH 1/2] gpiolib: irqchip: prevent driver unloading if gpio is used as irq only

Now nothing prevents GPIO driver from being unloaded if its gpios
were requested as GPIO IRQs only (without calling gpio_request()).

Hence, add calls of try_module_get()/module_put() into
gpiochip_irq_reqres/relres() to track such scenario properly.

Assign GPIO chip owner field to chip->dev->driver->owner if it was not

Hi,

There is also one positive additional side effect:
lines like below can be removed from a lot of GPIO
drivers
rdc321x_gpio_dev->chip.owner = THIS_MODULE;

Sounds good, setting this field manually seems to make less and less
sense anyway as most drivers follow the device model.

A good idea for a follow-up patch! ;)

Bad things could happen indeed.

Or actually, I have had some second thought to why gpio_chip
is duplicating struct members from struct device at all.

Why should it even have "owner" and "of_node"?

Should we not just rewrite this code to follow the struct device *dev
pointer in gpio_chip and use "owner" and "of_node" from there?

Seems not all drivers implemented using Dev/Driver approach,
so they don't have dev at all ;)

gpio-samsung.c for example (non-DT driver).
