[PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 005/218] gpiolib: do not allow to insert an empty gpiochip

[Kamal Mostafa]

4.2.8-ckt7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Bamvor Jian Zhang <bamvor.zhangjian@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5ed41cc4baaf4127661d2a8f8f2ee6e3085e0fa9 upstream.

We need to check if number of gpio is positive if there is no
such check in devicetree or acpi or whatever called before
gpiochip_add.

I suppose that devicetree and acpi do not allow insert gpiochip
with zero number but I do not know if it is enough to ignore
this check in gpiochip_add.
