From: David Dueck <redacted> Not all gpio banks are necessarily enabled, in the current code this can lead to null pointer dereferences.

Having a NULL pointer in this table is the normal behavior if a PIO controller is not enabled. So this fix is not a quick and dirty hack, it's usual to skip an entry from a table if it is not filled.
This v2 version applied for fixes with v3.18+ stable tag. Yours, Linus Walleij
