Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] gpiolib: check the 'ngpios' property in core gpiolib code

Several drivers read the 'ngpios' device property on their own, but
since it's defined as a standard GPIO property in the device tree bindings
anyway, it's a good candidate for generalization. If the driver didn't
set its gc->ngpio, try to read the 'ngpios' property from the GPIO
device's firmware node before bailing out.

v1 -> v2:
- use device_property_read_u32() instead of fwnode_property_read_u32()
- reverse the error check logic

v2 -> v3:
- don't shadow errors other than -ENODATA in device_property_read_u32()

v3 -> v4:
- also make sure we return -EINVAL when the device 'ngpios' property is
  set to 0 (thanks Andy!)
