[PATCH] gpio: siox: indicate exclusive support of threaded IRQs

[Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>]

Generic GPIO consumers like gpio-keys use request_any_context_irq()
to request a threaded handler if irq_settings_is_nested_thread() ==
true or a hardirq handler otherwise.

Drivers using handle_nested_irq() must be sure that the nested
IRQs were requested with threaded handlers, because the IRQ
is handled by calling action->thread_fn().

The gpio-siox driver dispatches IRQs via handle_nested_irq,
but has irq_settings_is_nested_thread() == false.

Set gpio_irq_chip::threaded to remedy this.

I am writing a driver similar to gpio-siox and I ran into a null pointer
dereference, because ->threaded wasn't set. I didn't test this on actual
SIOX hardware.

This patch doesn't fix the case were are driver explicitly calls
request_irq and is combined with a driver that does handle_nested_irq.

Is there a flag, such drivers should additionally set or should we
check action->thread_fn before calling it inside handle_nested_irq?
