At this point in gpio_keys_polled_probe(), button->gpiod contains either
a pointer to a GPIO descriptor or NULL, because:
  - gpio_keys_polled_get_devtree_pdata() fills in button->gpiod only if
    devm_get_gpiod_from_child() succeeded,
  - gpio_to_desc() returns NULL on failure, not an ERR_PTR(),
  - button->gpiod is untouched if it was NULL, and button->gpio is not
    valid.

Hence check for NULL only, and return -EINVAL on failure.

Question: Should it return -ENOENT instead?
