This issue already exist and this patch will not handle this case
because gpio_is_valid() return true for gpio 0 also.

I search the registration of this driver on linux-next and found that it
is used from DT only. No one is registering this device from non-DT.

However, I can push another patch to fix the issue as if platform data
is provided from non-DT and dvs_gpio is 0 then mark this as -EINVAL so
that it will treat this as invalid gpio.
Still there will be issue if some platform have real GPIO number as 0
and register from board files.

Does it make sense?
