The process of converting all unauthorized users of struct gpio_chip to
using dedicated struct gpio_device function will be long so in the
meantime we must provide a way of retrieving the pointer to struct
gpio_chip from a GPIO device.

Yeah, sigh. Maybe add a notice to drivers/gpio/TODO that this needs
to happen long time.
