[PATCH v2] gpiolib: fix stack out-of-bounds access in gpiochip_add_hog()

[Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@oss.qualcomm.com>]

In gpiochip_add_hog(), parsing a device tree with an excessively large
"#gpio-cells" property causes a stack out-of-bounds write when populating
the GPIO specification.

The value read from #gpio-cells is used to copy the values into right
places in struct fwnode_reference_args but that struct's args field is
an array of size NR_FWNODE_REFERENCE_ARGS so a value larger than it will
make the loop write past the end of that array.

If #gpio-cells is 0, we can trigger a divide-by-zero later when
calculating the actual number of hogs.

If #gpio-cells is 1, we can also perform an out-of-bounds read of
the "gpios" array.

Reject #gpio-cells larger than NR_FWNODE_REFERENCE_ARGS, lower than 1
and make sure #gpio-cells is larger than 1 before checking the
active-low flag.
