Has Chris Ball been told what an incredible pain this kind of crap is,
and that there's a damn good reason why WE DO NOT REBASE PUBLIC TREES
THAT OTHERS MAY BE BASING THEIR DEVELOPMENT ON!

Chris, can you hear me shouting? Don't do that.

I'm taking the rebased one, thanks for the explanation. I really don't
like rebasing, but you did it for a valid reason, and it wasn't your
mistake. And duplicating the commits just to be a pain is not worth
it.

So Arnd's tag talked about removing the stale gpio.h, but I think it
was the i2c.h that was now also stale. So I removed both - even though
technically, the merge should have left i2c.h since it was in both
parents. You should double-check that, but I don't see how that
<linux/i2c.h> could *possibly* be valid any more, and people had tried
(unsuccessfully) to remove it once already, so...
