linux-next: build failure after merge of the gpio tree

I have sent a patch to fix this. In the meantime, if the merge
conflict of the GPIO tree on board-paz00.c is solved by taking the
GPIO version, there is no build error.

There are a few important patches pending in the GPIO tree that should
undergo testing - Stephen, do you think you could resolve the conflict
that way to enable the latest GPIO tree to be tested again?

Thanks,
Alex.
