Subject: [PATCH] gpio: cdev: avoid uninitialized variable dereference

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

The 'gc' variable is never set before it gets printed:

drivers/gpio/gpiolib-cdev.c:2802:11: error: variable 'gc' is uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
 2802 |         chip_dbg(gc, "added GPIO chardev (%d:%d)\n", MAJOR(devt), gdev->id);
      |                  ^~
drivers/gpio/gpiolib.h:277:11: note: expanded from macro 'chip_dbg'
  277 |         dev_dbg(&gc->gpiodev->dev, "(%s): " fmt, gc->label, ##__VA_ARGS__)
      |                  ^~

Use dev_dbg() directly.
