[PATCH] gpio: Remove impossible checks on container_of() result
From: Stephen Boyd
Date: Mon Jan 09 2017 - 14:47:58 EST
container_of() does pointer math on the pointer that's passed in.
If it were to return a NULL pointer the value passed in would
need to be perfectly offset from 0 to make that so. Remove these
checks because they don't make sense.
