Subject: [PATCH v5 2/5] gpiolib: provide VALIDATE_DESC_PTR() macro

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@...libre.com>

We're about to add a public GPIO function that takes a descriptor as
argument and returns a pointer. Add a corresponding macro wrapping the
validate_desc() function that returns an ERR_PTR() on error.
