[PATCH] gpio: bail out silently on NULL descriptors

[Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In fdeb8e1547cb9dd39d5d7223b33f3565cf86c28e
("gpio: reflect base and ngpio into gpio_device")
assumed that GPIO descriptors are either valid or error
pointers, but gpiod_get_[index_]optional() actually return
NULL descriptors and then all subsequent calls should just
bail out.
