This somewhat "conflicts" with the patch I've submitted on the mvsdio
driver to exclude 0 as a valid GPIO, see
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-March/157157.html.
This patch ensures that the mvsdio driver behaves as it was behaving
before 3.9 as far as legacy probing is concerned.

That said, I have nothing against explicitly setting those GPIO values
to an invalid value. Maybe -EINVAL would make more sense than just -1 ?

Best regards,

Thomas
