[PATCH v2 05/11] gpiolib: provide gpio_device_get_desc()

[Bartosz Golaszewski <brgl@xxxxxxxx>]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@xxxxxxxxxx>

Getting the GPIO descriptor directly from the gpio_chip struct is
dangerous as we don't take the reference to the underlying GPIO device.
In order to start working towards removing gpiochip_get_desc(), let's
provide a safer variant that works with an existing reference to struct
gpio_device.
