Subject: [PATCH next] gpiolib: check for parent device in devprop_gpiochip_set_names()

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

It's possible for a GPIO chip to not have a parent device (whose
properties we inspect for 'gpio-line-names'). In this case we should
simply return from devprop_gpiochip_set_names(). Add an appropriate
check for this use-case.

Fixes: 7cba1a4d5e16 ("gpiolib: generalize devprop_gpiochip_set_names() for device properties")
