Commit 8eb1f71e7acc ("gpiolib: consolidate GPIO lookups") refactors
fwnode_get_named_gpiod() and gpiod_get_index() into a unified
gpiod_find_and_request() helper.

The old functions both initialized their local lookupflags variable to
GPIO_LOOKUP_FLAGS_DEFAULT, but the new code leaves it uninitialized.

This is a problem for at least ACPI platforms, where acpi_find_gpio()
only does a bunch of *lookupflags |= GPIO_* statements and thus relies
on the variable being initialized.

The variable not being initialized leads to:

1. Potentially the wrong flags getting used
2. The check for conflicting lookup flags in gpiod_configure_flags():
   "multiple pull-up, pull-down or pull-disable enabled, invalid config"
   sometimes triggering, making the GPIO unavailable

Restore the initialization of lookupflags to GPIO_LOOKUP_FLAGS_DEFAULT
to fix this.

Note I'm not working and not reading work email until Monday January 9th.
I hit this while doing some hobby stuff and I decided to send this out
right away to avoid others potentially wasting time debugging this, but
I will not see any replies until Monday January 9th.

Queued for fixes, thanks!

[Note: this mail contains only information for Linux kernel regression
tracking. Mails like these contain '#forregzbot' in the subject to make
then easy to spot and filter out. The author also tried to remove most
or all individuals from the list of recipients to spare them the hassle.]

Thanks for the report. To be sure below issue doesn't fall through the
cracks unnoticed, I'm adding it to regzbot, my Linux kernel regression
tracking bot:

#regzbot ^introduced 8eb1f71e7acc
#regzbot title gpiolib: potentially the wrong flags getting used
#regzbot fix: gpiolib: Fix using uninitialized lookup-flags on ACPI
platforms
#regzbot ignore-activity

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)

P.S.: As the Linux kernel's regression tracker I deal with a lot of
reports and sometimes miss something important when writing mails like
this. If that's the case here, don't hesitate to tell me in a public
reply, it's in everyone's interest to set the public record straight.
