4.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ricardo Ribalda Delgado <ricardo.ribalda@xxxxxxxxx> commit 11f33a6d15bfa397867ac0d7f3481b6dd683286f upstream. Under some circumstances, a gpiochip might be half cleaned from the gpio_device list. This patch makes sure that the chip pointer is still valid, before calling the match function.
