There's a new driver in git-dvb which does a plain old

#include <asm/gpio.h>

and it explodes on i386 allmodconfig with:

In file included from drivers/media/video/mt9m001.c:20:
include/asm/gpio.h:4:18: error: gpio.h: No such file or directory

I don't even know how this was supposed to work.  What does "#include
<gpio.h>" give us?  Is the kbuild system supposed to have added
-Iinclude/asm/mach-generic?  It obviously didn't.

Someone please fix.

It would be more modern to have a <linux/gpio.h> which takes care of
cruddy details, but it's getting too late for that.
