Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.15 027/124] gpiolib: don't dereference a desc
 before validation

From: Vladimir Zapolskiy <vz@...ia.com>

[ Upstream commit 30322bcf82d74cad0d6e1cf9ba7fa7fa48c7a026 ]

The fix restores a proper validation of an input gpio desc, which
might be needed to deal with optional GPIOs correctly.

Fixes: 02e479808b5d ("gpio: Alter semantics of *raw* operations to actually be raw")
