Subject: pinctrl: exynos5440: Use off-stack memory for pinctrl_gpio_range

From: Andrew Jeffery <[email protected]>

commit 71324fdc72ef0163e57631aa814a9a81e9e4770b upstream.

The range is registered into a linked list which can be referenced throughout the lifetime of the driver. Ensure the range's memory is useful for the same lifetime by adding it to the driver's private data structure.

The bug was introduced in the driver's initial commit, which was present in v3.10.

Fixes f0b9a7e521fa ("pinctrl: exynos5440: add pinctrl driver for Samsung EXYNOS5440 SoC")
