Subject: gpiolib: don't dereference a desc before validation
From: Vladimir Zapolskiy <vz@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 30322bcf82d74cad0d6e1cf9ba7fa7fa48c7a026 ]
The fix restores a proper validation of an input gpio desc, which
might be needed to deal with optional GPIOs correctly.
Fixes: 02e479808b5d ("gpio: Alter semantics of *raw* operations to actually be raw")
