[PATCH 4.14 04/36] gpio: No NULL owner

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>

commit 7d18f0a14aa6a0d6bad39111c1fb655f07f71d59 upstream.

Sometimes a GPIO is fetched with NULL as parent device, and
that is just fine. So under these circumstances, avoid using
dev_name() to provide a name for the GPIO line.
