[PATCH 8/9] gpiolib: use gpio_chips list in gpio_to_desc

[Alexandre Courbot]

Parse the list of chips to find the descriptor corresponding to a GPIO
number instead of directly picking the entry of the global gpio_desc[]
array, which is due to be removed.

This turns the complexity of converting a GPIO number into a descriptor
from O(1) to O(n) where n is the number of GPIO chips in the system.
Since n is ought to be small anyway, there should be no noticeable
performance impact. Moreover, GPIO users who care for speed already have
implemented their own gpio_get_value() and gpio_set_value() with a
fast path for the GPIO numbers that matter and this change does not
affect such use cases.

The descriptor-based GPIO API, due to be introduced soon, will make this
lookup unnecessary.
