gpiolib: let gpiod_request() return -EPROBE_DEFER
Patch be1a4b brought some improvements to the GPIO error handling code, but also changed the return value of gpiod_request() when called on a not yet initialized GPIO descriptor: it now returns -EINVAL instead of -EPROBE_DEFER, and this affects some drivers. This patch restores the original behavior for gpiod_request(). It is safe to do so now that desc_to_gpio() does not rely on the GPIO descriptor to be initialized. Other functions changed by patch be1a4b do not see their return value affected, so these are not reverted. Signed-off-by: Alexandre Courbot <acourbot@nvidia.com> Reported-by: Dr. H.
