The implementation if .irq_disable() which kicks in between
the gpiolib and the driver is not properly mimicking the
expected semantics of the irqchip core: the irqchip will
call .irq_disable() if that exists, else it will call
mask_irq() which first checks if .irq_mask() is defined
before calling it.
Since we are calling it unconditionally, we get this bug
from drivers/pinctrl/qcom/pinctrl-ssbi-gpio.c, as it only
defines .irq_mask_ack and not .irq_mask:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
pgd = (ptrval)
(...)
PC is at 0x0
LR is at gpiochip_irq_disable+0x20/0x30
Fix this by only calling .irq_mask() if it exists.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
