[PATCH] gpiolib: Fix of_node inconsistency

[Biju Das <biju.das@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some platforms are not setting of_node in the driver. On these platforms
defining gpio-reserved-ranges on device tree leads to kernel crash.

It is due to some parts of the gpio core relying on the driver to set up
of_node,while other parts do themselves.This inconsistent behaviour leads 
to a crash.

gpiochip_add_data_with_key() calls gpiochip_init_valid_mask() with of_node
as NULL. of_gpiochip_add() fills "of_node" and calls 
of_gpiochip_init_valid_mask().

The fix is to move the assignment to chip->of_node from of_gpiochip_add()
to gpiochip_add_data_with_key().
