gpiolib: of_find_gpio(): Don't discard errors
Since commit dd34c37a ("gpio: of: Allow -gpio suffix for property names") when requesting a GPIO from the devicetree gpiolib looks for properties with both the '-gpio' and the '-gpios' suffix. This was implemented by first searching for the property with the '-gpios' suffix and if that yields an error try the '-gpio' suffix. This approach has the issue that any error returned when looking for the '-gpios' suffix is silently discarded. Commit 06fc3b70 ("gpio: of: Fix handling for deferred probe for -gpio suffix") partially addressed the issue by treating the EPROBE_DEFER error as a special condition. This fixed the case when the property is specified, but the GPIO provider is not ready yet. But there are other cases in which of_get_named_gpiod_flags() returns an error even though the property is specified, e.g. if the specification is incorrect. of_find_gpio() should only try to look for the property with the '-gpio' suffix if no property with the '-gpios' suffix was found. If the property was not found of_get_named_gpiod_flags() will return -ENOENT, so update the condition to abort and propagate the error to the caller in all other cases. This is important for gpiod_get_optinal() and friends to behave correctly in case the specifier contains errors. Without this patch they'll return NULL if the property uses the '-gpios' suffix and the specifier contains errors, which falsely indicates to the caller that no GPIO was specified.
