Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 1/4] gpio: mpc8xxx: Add platform device to gpiochip->parent

From: Johnson CH Chen (陳昭勳) <JohnsonCH.Chen@...a.com>

[ Upstream commit 322f6a3182d42df18059a89c53b09d33919f755e ]

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.
