Subject[PATCH 4.18 177/235] gpiolib: dont allow userspace to set values of input lines
Date
4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <brgl@bgdev.pl>

[ Upstream commit e5332d5437764f775cf4e3b8ca3bf592af063a02 ]

User space can currently both read and set values of input lines using
the character device. This was not allowed by the old sysfs interface
nor is it a correct behavior.

Check the first descriptor in the set for the OUT flag when asked to
set values and return -EPERM if the line is input.
