gpio: viperboard: remove platform_set_drvdata() call in probe

The platform_set_drvdata() call is only useful if we need to retrieve back
the private information.
Since the driver doesn't do that, it's not useful to have it.

This change removes it.

The log is not really needed, we'll get an error message from gpiolib
core. Can you remove it while you're at it and just return the result
of devm_gpiochip_add_data()?

I thought about removing it, but in this driver there are 2
devm_gpiochip_add_data() calls.
It registers 2 GPIOchip instances.
Which is not so easy to see in this patch.

First one says "could not add gpio a"  and this one says "could not add gpio b".
I hesitated to remove either of these.

In this case, it may be a little helpful to know which GPIOchip failed
to be registered.

But I don't mind removing them both.
Whatever you prefer. I'm undecided.

The core code will still use the label for the error message which
says 'a' or 'b' already. I think we can remove it.
