Isaac True f57c2164d0 serial: sc16is7xx: setup GPIO controller later in probe 
[ Upstream commit c8f71b49ee ]

The GPIO controller component of the sc16is7xx driver is setup too
early, which can result in a race condition where another device tries
to utilise the GPIO lines before the sc16is7xx device has finished
initialising.

This issue manifests itself as an Oops when the GPIO lines are configured:

    Unable to handle kernel read from unreadable memory at virtual address
    ...
    pc : sc16is7xx_gpio_direction_output+0x68/0x108 [sc16is7xx]
    lr : sc16is7xx_gpio_direction_output+0x4c/0x108 [sc16is7xx]

This patch moves the setup of the GPIO controller functions to later in the
probe function, ensuring the sc16is7xx device has already finished
initialising by the time other devices try to make use of the GPIO lines.
The error handling has also been reordered to reflect the new
initialisation order.

README 

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.
