Looks like it was changed so that it does complain fairly
recently (patch librally snipped down):

commit fdeb8e1547cb9dd39d5d7223b33f3565cf86c28e
Author: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@...aro.org>

    gpio: reflect base and ngpio into gpio_device


+#define VALIDATE_DESC_VOID(desc) do { \
+ if (!desc || !desc->gdev) { \
+         pr_warn("%s: invalid GPIO\n", __func__); \
+         return; \
+ } \
+

void gpiod_set_value(struct gpio_desc *desc, int value)
{
-   if (!desc)
-           return;
+ VALIDATE_DESC_VOID(desc);
