The PPC4xx GPIO driver stopped assigning an explicit parent
to the gpio_chip when it moved away from of_mm_gpiochip_add_data().

Restore that association from the platform device so OF GPIO lookup
can match phandles to the registered gpiochip.

Tested on: Cisco MX60W. No more probe deferral.

Did I forget to ping someone?

Probably not, but afterwards you sent your series which moves the driver into drivers/gpio/ and which does the same, so this one was flagged "superseeded" in Patchwork (https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/patch/20260517063754.21819-1-rosenp@xxxxxxxxx/)

I put it back to 'new'. Maddy, can you pick it up ?
yes, i have added this to my next-test
