Subject: [PATCH 4.6 40/81] gpiolib: Fix NULL pointer deference

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

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

From: Ricardo Ribalda Delgado <ricardo.ribalda@...il.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.
