[PATCH] gpiolib: add gpio_lookup_chip() to get chip information for gpio

[Ben Dooks]

Add a call to get the 'struct gpio_chip' pointer for a given gpio, so
that core implementations which want to use gpiolib gpio numbering for
things like mux configuration can get back to the gpio_chip that they
registered without having to have their own list of gpio.

This is especially useful for the Samsung S3C64XX series where the GPIO
bank sizes can vary from 32 down to 3, making it difficult to store an
array to convert a number to chip.
