Merge tag 'gpio-v4.8-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio

Pull GPIO fixes from Linus Walleij:
 "Here are a few GPIO fixes for v4.8.

  I was expecting some fallout from the new chardev rework but nothing
  like that turned up att all.  Instead a Kconfig confusion that I think
  I have finally nailed, then some ordinary driver noise and trivia.

  This fixes a Kconfig issue with UM: when I made GPIOLIB available to
  all archs, that included UM, but the OF part of GPIOLIB requires
  HAS_IOMEM, so we add HAS_IOMEM as a dependency to OF_GPIO.

  This in turn exposed the fact that a few GPIO drivers were implicitly
  assuming OF_GPIO as their dependency but instead depended on OF alone
  (the typical problem being a pointer inside gpio_chip not existing
  unless OF_GPIO is selected) and then UM would fail to compile with
  these drivers instead.  Then I lost patience and made any GPIO driver
  depending on just OF depend on OF_GPIO instead, that is certainly what
  they meant and the only thing that makes sense anyway.  GPIO with just
  OF but !OF_GPIO does not make sense.

  Also a fix for the max730x driver data pointer, and a minor comment
  fix for the GPIO tools"
