Andy Shevchenko f10e4bf663 gpio: acpi: Even more tighten up ACPI GPIO lookups
The commit 10cf4899f8 ("gpiolib: tighten up ACPI legacy gpio lookups")
prevents to getting same resource twice if the driver asks twice using
different connection ID.

But the whole idea of fallback might bring some problems. Imagine the case when
we have two versions of BIOS/hardware where in one _DSD is introduced along
with GPIO resources, but the other one uses just plain GPIO resource for
another purpose

Case 1:

    Device (DEVX)
    {
        ...
        Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate ()
        {
            GpioIo (Exclusive, PullUp, 0, 0, IoRestrictionInputOnly,
                    "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) {15}
        })
        Name (_DSD, Package ()
        {
            ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
            Package ()
            {
                Package () {"some-gpios", Package() {^DEVX, 0, 0, 0 }},
            }
        })
    }

Case 2:

    Device (DEVX)
    {
        ...
        Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate ()
        {
            GpioIo (Exclusive, PullUp, 0, 0, IoRestrictionInputOnly,
                    "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) {27}
        })
    }

To prevent the possible misconfiguration tighten up even more GPIO ACPI lookups
for case without connection ID provided.

In the past the issue had been triggered by "use mctrl_gpio helpers" series
[1,2].

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
