Subject: [PATCH] gpio: sama5d2-piobu: remove platform_set_drvdata() + cleanup probe

The platform_set_drvdata() call is only useful if we need to retrieve back
the private information.
Since the driver doesn't do that, it's not useful to have it.

This change also changes the probe order a bit, moving the
devm_gpiochip_add_data() as the last call. This means that when the
gpiochip is registered [and available to consumers], it should be
initialized.

It's still possible that the devm_gpiochip_add_data() call could fail,
leaving the chip in a partially initialized state, but that was possible
even before this change; it was just some other partially initialized
state.
