In case the gpiochip doesn't have the .dev field set, as is the case in here, it is not possible to reference this device in DT as a GPIO controller. A good example of this problem is that gpio-leds can not be used when connected to this chip, the gpio-leds driver bails out with -EPROBE_DEFER. Fix this problem by setting the .dev field of the gpio_chip to the parent i2c device.
