Subject: Bluetooth: hci_intel: Fix null gpio desc pointer dereference

From: Loic Poulain <[email protected]>

commit 32b9ccbc3522811c0e483637b85ae25f5491296f upstream.

gpiod_get_optional can return either ERR_PTR or NULL pointer. NULL case is not tested and then dereferenced later in desc_to_gpio. Fix this by using non optional version which returns ERR_PTR in any error case (this is not an optional gpio).
Use the same non optional version for the host-wake gpio.
