Subject: [PATCH] gpio: mpc8xxx: Add platform device to gpiochip->parent

Dear Linus Walleij,

In old kernels, some APIs still try to use parent->of_node from struct gpio_chip,
and it could be resulted in kernel panic because parent is NULL. Adding platform
device to gpiochip->parent can fix this problem.
