Subject: [PATCH v3 19/24] gpio: remove unnecessary checks from gpiod_to_chip()

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

We don't need to check the gdev pointer in struct gpio_desc - it's
always assigned and never cleared. It's also pointless to check
gdev->chip before we actually serialize access to it.
