Subject: [PATCH 2/3] gpio: fix null pointer exception when there is no oftree

In a system with oftree support enabled but with no oftree the
of_gpiochip_scan_hogs() would fail due to device_node equals NULL.

Check device_node and return with 0 in this situation, as this
mirrors what would have happened before we added support for gpio-hogs.

Use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_OFDEVICE) to teach compiler to leave
out the of_* specific functions if not needed.

Fixes: 37e6bee7 ("gpiolib: Add support for GPIO "hog" nodes")
