The software node representing the GPIO controller to consumers is
"dangling": it's not really attached to the device. The GPIO lookup
relies on matching the name of the node to the chip's label. Switch to
using platform_device_register_full() and use the swnode field of struct
platform_device_info to attach the software node to the GPIO device.

Changes in v2:
- Use the new .swnode field of struct platform_device_info. To that end:
  switch to using platform_device_register_full() for device
  registration.

Thank you for your contribution, it has been applied to my local
review-ilpo-next branch. Note it will show up in the public
platform-drivers-x86/review-ilpo-next branch only once I've pushed my
local branch there, which might take a while.
