2009-01-15gpio: fix probe() error return in gpio driver probesBen Dooks
A number of drivers in drivers/gpio return -ENODEV when confronted with missing setup parameters such as the platform data. However, returning -ENODEV causes the driver layer to silently ignore the driver as it assumes the probe did not find anything and was only speculative. To make life easier to discern why a driver is not being attached, change to returning -EINVAL, which is a better description of the fact that the driver data was not valid. Also add a set of dev_dbg() statements to the error paths to provide an better explanation of the error as there may be more that one point in the driver.

2008-10-16gpio: i2c expanders use subsys_initDavid Brownell
Make the I2C external GPIO expander drivers register themselves at subsys_initcall() time when they're statically linked. SOC-integrated GPIOs are available starting very early -- early in arch_initcall() at latest, but often even before initcalls start to run -- so this improves consistency, so more subsystems can rely on GPIOs in their own subsys_initcall() code. (This isn't a theoretical problem. This is one of several patches needed to resolve oopsing observed when statically linking kernels on a DaVinci EVM. Its pcf857x GPIOs needed to be available well before some other drivers initialized.)
