This will prevent falling back to /dev/gpiochip0 when /dev/gpiochipX was previously opened successfully.

This is designed to alert users when multiple processes are simultaneously using /dev/gpiochipX, but it should only happen if either

  1. another process is spamming/hogging the gpiochipX.
  2. the rare occurrence when RF24 needs to open gpiochipX while it is still used by another process.

This was just a follow-up to #961 which I should've included there. Hardware tests showed no problems.
