    gpio: sysfs: fix redundant lock-as-irq handling · 52176d0d

    Drivers should call gpiochip_lock_as_irq (which prevents the pin
    direction from being changed) in their irq_request_resources callbacks
    but some drivers currently fail to do so.
    
    Instead a second, explicit and often redundant call to lock-as-irq is
    made by the sysfs-interface implementation after an irq has been
    requested.
    
    Move the explicit call before the irq-request to match the unlock done
    after the irq is later released. Note that this also fixes an irq leak,
    should the explicit call ever have failed.
    
    Also add a comment about removing the redundant call once the broken
    drivers have been fixed.
