GENERIC_GPIO now synonymous with GPIOLIB. There are no longer any valid
cases for enableing GENERIC_GPIO without GPIOLIB, even though it is
possible to do so which has been causing confusion and breakage. This
branch does the work to completely eliminate GENERIC_GPIO.
However, it is not trivial to just create a branch to remove it. Over
the course of the v3.9 cycle more code referencing GENERIC_GPIO has been
added to linux-next that conflicts with this branch. The following must
be done to resolve the conflicts when merging this branch into mainline:
* "git grep CONFIG_GENERIC_GPIO" should return 0 hits. Matches should be
replaced with CONFIG_GPIOLIB
* "git grep '\bGENERIC_GPIO\b'" should return 1 hit in the Chinese
documentation.
* Selectors of GENERIC_GPIO should be turned into selectors of GPIOLIB
* definitions of the option in architecture Kconfig code should be deleted.
Stephen has 3 merge fixup patches[1] that do the above. They are currently
applicable on mainline as of May 2nd.
