Hi Michal,

thanks for the very quick turnaround!

Fixes kernel hang during boot due to inability to set up IRQ on AXP313a.

The issue is caused by gpiochip_lock_as_irq() which is failing when gpio
is in unitialized state.
         ^ uninitialized

Solution is to set pinmux to GPIO INPUT in
sunxi_pinctrl_irq_request_resources() if it wasn't initialized
earlier.

Tested on Orange Pi Zero 3.

You would want

     !!(pctl->flags & SUNXI_PINCTRL_NEW_REG_LAYOUT)

here to normalize it to a bool value. This is quite common in kernel code.
The whole expression above is a bit cumbersome (though correct). And 
since is_reset_mux isn't really needed, I'd suggest something like:

	u8 disabled_mux;
....
	if (pctl->flags & SUNXI_PINCTRL_NEW_REG_LAYOUT)
		disabled_mux = SUN4I_FUNC_DISABLED_NEW;
	else
		disabled_mux = SUN4I_FUNC_DISABLED_OLD;
	if (muxval == disabled_mux)
....

But yeah, in general this was what I had in mind.

Cheers,
Andre

Nit: the curly braces aren't needed.

Nit: you probably want to replace this with "offset" as well.


Just minor issues, otherwise
