[PATCH] i2c: Include GPIO consumer header in main include

[PATCH] i2c: Include GPIO consumer header in main include

[Linus Walleij]

It seems most users of <linux/i2c.h> pick up their
dependency of <linux/gpio/consumer.h> from other paths but
that is not a universal law, so include the header
explicitly so we have struct gpio_desc available.

Not sure. Having GPIOs is not really a requirement for I2C. I tend to
think drivers using it should include this explicitly?

I still think drivers needing GPIO should include it explicitly.
So, NAK until further arguments arrive...

What I mean is that they must be doing that currently since this
file uses struct gpio_desc (for recovert), else the build would fail.

So that is why I think it should be made explicit.

Another option is to just forward-declare struct gpio_desc;
