[PATCH v1 1/1] pinctrl: at91: Fix possible out-of-boundary access

at91_gpio_probe() doesn't check that given OF alias is not available or
something went wrong when trying to get it. This might have consequences
when accessing gpio_chips array with that value as an index. Note, that
BUG() can be compiled out and hence won't actually perform the required
checks.
