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" * tag 'gpio-v4.8-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio: gpio: make any OF dependent driver depend on OF_GPIO gpio: Fix OF build problem on UM gpio: max730x: set gpiochip data pointer before using it tools/gpio: fix gpio-event-mon header comment
