Input: matrix_keypad - check for errors from of_get_named_gpio()
commit d55bda1b upstream. "of_get_named_gpio()" returns a negative error value if it fails and drivers should check for this. This missing check was now added to the matrix_keypad driver. In my case "of_get_named_gpio()" returned -EPROBE_DEFER because the referenced GPIOs belong to an I/O expander, which was not yet probed at the point in time when the matrix_keypad driver was loading. Because the driver did not check for errors from the "of_get_named_gpio()" routine, it was assuming that "-EPROBE_DEFER" is actually a GPIO number and continued as usual, which led to further errors like this later on: WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 167 at drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:114 gpio_to_desc+0xc8/0xd0 invalid GPIO -517 Note that the "GPIO number" -517 in the error message above is actually "-EPROBE_DEFER". As part of the patch a misleading error message "no platform data defined" was also removed. This does not lead to information loss because the other error paths in matrix_keypad_parse_dt() already print an error.
