[PATCH] powerpc/44x: Set GPIO chip firmware node

[PATCH] powerpc/44x: Set GPIO chip firmware node

[Rosen Penev]

The PPC4xx GPIO driver stopped assigning an explicit firmware node
to the gpio_chip when it moved away from of_mm_gpiochip_add_data().

Restore that association from the platform device so OF GPIO lookup
can match phandles to the registered gpiochip.

Tested on: Cisco MX60W. No more probe deferral.

dev was needed, not fwnode. Which makes sense as this is specified in dts.

fixes this but that's not in a released kernel.
