[PATCH v1] gpio: mt7621: Assign base field in gpio_chip

[Reto Schneider]

From: Reto Schneider <reto.schneider@husqvarnagroup.com>

This is needed for gpiochip_sysfs_register() to properly export
/sys/class/gpio/gpiochip{0,32,64}.

Without this fix, the field base in gpio_device remains at its
initialization value, which is -1. This causes
gpiochip_add_data_with_key() to call gpiochip_find_base(), which in turn
dynamically determines the base to be at ARCH_NR_GPIOS - 32/64/96,
resulting in gpiochip{480,448,416}.

Detected/fixed/tested on a MediaTek MT7688 based GARDENA smart gateway.

I did some digging and indeed, it turned out that I used the 
pre-mainline GPIO driver from OpenWRT even on Kernel 4.19 (for which the 
current driver already got mainlined).

Surely do agree on not breaking the interface in mainline, and the NAK.

Sorry for wasting your time!

Kind regards,
Reto

Hm isn't OpenWrt switched to the mainline driver?

Another thing we should do is to add libgpiod to the OpenWrt
base distribution so as to encourage people to use the character
device ABI.

They did, and people are now seeing this "issue" too [1]. Which got me 
to post my "fix" [2] and then trying to upstream it here. :)

Kind regards,
