gpio: don't compare raw GPIO descriptor pointers

Merge series from Bartosz Golaszewski <brgl@bgdev.pl>:

Handling of shared GPIOs in the kernel needs some improvements. Let's
start with a simple change of not comparing GPIO descriptor pointers
directly as there's nothing that guarantees that the same physical pin
will always be represented by a single GPIO descriptor obtained by
calling gpiod_get().
