Assign GPIO chip owner field to chip->dev->driver->owner if it was not

Patch applied with Alex' review tag.

  There is also one positive additional side effect:
  lines like below can be removed from a lot of GPIO
  drivers
         rdc321x_gpio_dev->chip.owner = THIS_MODULE;

Yes let's do this :)

Or actually, I have had some second thought to why gpio_chip
is duplicating struct members from struct device at all.

Why should it even have "owner" and "of_node"?

Should we not just rewrite this code to follow the struct device *dev
pointer in gpio_chip and use "owner" and "of_node" from there?


Seems not all drivers implemented using Dev/Driver approach,
so they don't have dev at all ;)

gpio-samsung.c for example (non-DT driver).
