Subject: gpio: reduce the functionality of validate_desc()
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6c82e737ab21c82982eaf5591b07268927a085d1;p=linux.git

gpio: reduce the functionality of validate_desc()

Checking desc->gdev->chip for NULL without holding it in place with some
serializing mechanism is pointless. Remove this check. Also don't check
desc->gdev for NULL as it can never happen. We'll be protecting
gdev->chip with SRCU soon but we will provide a dedicated, automatic
class for that.
