Only patches 3/9 and 9/9 depend on the other series in the sense that
they would break gc0310 support in atomisp without the other series.

3/9 can be moved to the end so the other 7 patches can be merged.

Most important in this series and the reason for posting it
separately is getting Sakari to ack patch 1/9 .

Sakari, I know you don't want platform dependent code in the sensor
drivers and I understand why. But in this case it is really
unavoidable.

To make this as painless as possible the helper function has
been made so that all sensors which may be used on affected
platforms only need this one extra line:

	v4l2_acpi_parse_sensor_gpios(&client->dev);

And on none ACPI platforms or when client was not instantiated
through ACPI this will be a stub / no-op.

So I hope that you are ok with this as a solution for
how the ACPI tables on these devices work ?
