Bartosz Golaszewski 54a2df5afa gpio: shared: fix a deadlock
It's possible that the auxiliary proxy device we add when setting up the
GPIO controller exposing shared pins, will get matched and probed
immediately. The gpio-proxy-driver will then retrieve the shared
descriptor structure. That will cause a recursive mutex locking and
a deadlock because we're already holding the gpio_shared_lock in
gpio_device_setup_shared() and try to take it again in
devm_gpiod_shared_get() like this:

Fortunately, at the time of creating of the auxiliary device, we already
know the correct entry so let's store it as the device's platform data.
We don't need to hold gpio_shared_lock in devm_gpiod_shared_get() as
we're not removing the entry or traversing the list anymore but we still
need to protect it from concurrent modification of its fields so add a
more fine-grained mutex.

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.
