Vincent Whitchurch d49b48f088 gpio: Fix crash due to registration race
gpiochip_add_data_with_key() adds the gpiochip to the gpio_devices list
before of_gpiochip_add() is called, but it's only the latter which sets
the ->of_xlate function pointer.  gpiochip_find() can be called by
someone else between these two actions, and it can find the chip and
call of_gpiochip_match_node_and_xlate() which leads to the following
crash due to a NULL ->of_xlate().

One way to fix this would be to rework the hairy registration sequence
in gpiochip_add_data_with_key(), but since I'd probably introduce a
couple of new bugs if I attempted that, simply add a check for a
non-NULL of_xlate function pointer in
of_gpiochip_match_node_and_xlate().  This works since the driver looking
for the gpio will simply fail to find the gpio and defer its probe and
be reprobed when the driver which is registering the gpiochip has fully
completed its probe.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
