Merge tag 'gpio-v4.9-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio
Pull GPIO fixes from Linus Walleij: "Here is a set of GPIO fixes for the v4.9 kernel series: - Fix up off-by one and line offset validation, info leak to userspace, and reject invalid flags. Those are especially valuable hardening patches from Lars-Peter Clausen, all tagged for stable. - Fix module autoload for TS4800 and ATH79. - Correct the IRQ handler for MPC8xxx to use handle_level_irq() as it (a) reacts to edges not levels and (b) even implements .irq_ack(). We were missing IRQs here. - Fix the error path for acpi_dev_gpio_irq_get() - Fix a memory leak in the MXS driver. - Fix an annoying typo in the STMPE driver. - Put a dependency on sysfs to the mockup driver" * tag 'gpio-v4.9-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio: gpio: mpc8xxx: Correct irq handler function gpio: ath79: Fix module autoload gpio: ts4800: Fix module autoload gpio: GPIO_GET_LINEEVENT_IOCTL: Reject invalid line and event flags gpio: GPIO_GET_LINEHANDLE_IOCTL: Reject invalid line flags gpio: GPIOHANDLE_GET_LINE_VALUES_IOCTL: Fix information leak gpio: GPIO_GET_LINEEVENT_IOCTL: Validate line offset gpio: GPIOHANDLE_GET_LINE_VALUES_IOCTL: Fix information leak gpio: GPIO_GET_LINEHANDLE_IOCTL: Validate line offset gpio: GPIO_GET_CHIPINFO_IOCTL: Fix information leak gpio: GPIO_GET_CHIPINFO_IOCTL: Fix line offset validation gpio / ACPI: fix returned error from acpi_dev_gpio_irq_get() gpio: mockup: add sysfs dependency gpio: stmpe: || vs && typo gpio: mxs: Unmap region obtained by of_iomap gpio/board.txt: point to gpiod_set_value
