Subject: gpiolib: Fix NULL pointer deference
From: Ricardo Ribalda Delgado <ricardo.ribalda@gmail.com>
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.
