omap_gpio_debounce() does not validate that the requested debounce
is within a range it can handle. Instead it lets the register value
wrap silently, and always returns success.

This can lead to all sorts of unexpected behavior, such as gpio_keys
asking for a too-long debounce, but getting a very short debounce in
practice.

Fix this by returning -EINVAL if the requested value does not fit into
the register field. If there is no debounce clock available at all,
return -ENOTSUPP.  
In general this patch looks good, but there is one thing I'm worry about..

This might cause boot issues as current drivers may expect this op to succeed even if
configured value is wrong - just think, may be we can do warn here and use max value as
fallback?
I have not looked through all drivers to be sure, but at least the gpio-keys 
driver requires set_debounce to return an error if it can't satisfy the request. 
In that case gpio-keys will use a software timer instead. 

                if (button->debounce_interval) {
                        error = gpiod_set_debounce(bdata->gpiod,
                                        button->debounce_interval * 1000);
                        /* use timer if gpiolib doesn't provide debounce */
                        if (error < 0)
                                bdata->software_debounce =
                                                button->debounce_interval;
                }

Also, at least some other GPIO drivers (e.g. gpio-max7760) return -EINVAL in 
such a case. And gpiolib will return -ENOTSUPP if there is no debounce 
callback at all. So I expect all drivers which use gpiod_set_debounce() to 
handle error returns gracefully. 

So I certainly understand the concern about backwards compatibility, but I 
think clipping to max is the greater of the evils in this case. Even a 
warning may be too much, because it's not necessarily anything wrong. 
Perhaps an info or debug message would be helpful, though?

If you prefer, I can try to go through all callers of gpiod_set_debounce()
and see how they'd handle an error return. The handful I've looked through so 
far all behave like gpio-keys. The only ones I'd be particularly concerned
about are platform-specific drivers which were perhaps never used with other
gpio drivers. Do you know of that I should pay special attention to?
Yeh agree. But the problem here will be not only with drivers itself - it can be wrong data in DT :(
As result, even  gpio-keys driver will just silently switch to software_debounce
without any notification.

But agree - max might not be a good choose, so can you add dev_err() below, pls.
