When GPIOs were requested the validity of GPIOs were checked only when the GPIO-chip had the request -callback populated. This made using masked GPIOs possible. The GPIO chip driver authors may find it difficult to understand the relation of enforsing the GPIO validity and the 'request' -callback because the current documentation for the 'request' callback does not mention this. It only states: * @request: optional hook for chip-specific activation, such as * enabling module power and clock; may sleep The validity of the GPIO line should be checked whether the driver provides the 'request' callback or not. Unconditionally check the GPIO validity when GPIO is being requested.

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 reStructuredText 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.
