Commit ef7c7553039b ("gpiolib: improve overlap check of range of gpio")
introduced the following compiler warning:

drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c: In function ‘gpiochip_add’:
drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:193:20: warning: ‘iterator’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
  struct gpio_chip *iterator;
                    ^

Fix this by initializing 'iterator' to NULL.

Several people reported this and I was waiting for a proper
fix from Bamvor (as it is a false compile warning and doesn't
really indicate a real error) but now I'll apply this to
get rid of all the reports and patches filling my mailbox...

Merry Christmas!

Yours,
Linus Walleij
