[PATCH 1/2] gpio: mcp23s08: Allow -1 as a legal value for global gpio base

[Lars Poeschel <larsi-myOXECIRRCL4ajHJ1XSv27NAH6kLmebB@public.gmane.org>]

From: Lars Poeschel <poeschel-Xtl8qvBWbHwb1SvskN2V4Q@public.gmane.org>

Explicitly allow -1 as a legal value for the
mcp23s08_platform_data->base. This is the special value lets the
kernel choose a valid global gpio base number.
