Subject: [PATCH 1/3] gpiolib: provide gpio_device_to_device()

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@...aro.org>

There are users in the kernel who need to retrieve the address of the
struct device backing the GPIO device. Currently they needlessly poke in
the internals of GPIOLIB. Add a dedicated getter function.
