Currently the kernel uses the struct device_node.data pointer to resolve a struct gpio_chip pointer from a device tree node. However, the .data member doesn't provide any type checking and there aren't any rules enforced on what it should be used for. There's no guarantee that the data stored in it actually points to an gpio_chip pointer. Instead of relying on the .data pointer, this patch modifies the code to add a lookup function which scans through the registered gpio_chips and returns the gpio_chip that has a pointer to the specified device_node.
