[PATCHv2] powerpc/44x: Set GPIO chip parent

From: Rosen Penev <hidden>
Date: 2026-05-17 06:38:11
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), linux for powerpc embedded ppc4xx, the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

The PPC4xx GPIO driver stopped assigning an explicit parent
to the gpio_chip when it moved away from of_mm_gpiochip_add_data().

Restore that association from the platform device so OF GPIO lookup
can match phandles to the registered gpiochip.

Tested on: Cisco MX60W. No more probe deferral.
