Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] gpio: fix NULL-deref-on-deregistration regression

Fix a NULL-pointer deference when deregistering the gpio character
device that was introduced by the recent stub-driver hack. When the new
"driver" is unbound as part of deregistration, driver core clears the
driver-data pointer which is used to retrieve the struct gpio_device in
its release callback.

Fix this by using container_of() in the release callback as should have
been done all along.

Fixes: 4731210c09f5 ("gpiolib: Bind gpio_device to a driver to enable fw_devlink=on by default")
