[PATCH v2] hwmon: (gpio-fan) allow to use alarm support alone from DT

[Simon Guinot]

On some boards, such as the LaCie 2Big Network v2 or 2Big NAS (based on
Marvell Kirkwood SoCs), an I2C fan controller is used but the alarm
signal is wired to a separate GPIO. Unfortunately, the gpio-fan driver
can't be used to handle GPIO alarm alone from DT: an error is returned
if the "gpios" DT property is missing.

This patch allows to use the gpio-fan driver even if the "alarm-gpios"
DT property is defined alone.

v2 change:
- Fix sentence in binding document about having at least one of the
  "gpios" or "alarm-gpios" properties set.

 Required properties:
 - compatible : "gpio-fan"
+
+Optional properties:
 - gpios: Specifies the pins that map to bits in the control value,
   ordered MSB-->LSB.
 - gpio-fan,speed-map: A mapping of possible fan RPM speeds and the
   control value that should be set to achieve them. This array
   must have the RPM values in ascending order.

-Optional properties:
 - alarm-gpios: This pin going active indicates something is wrong with
   the fan, and a udev event will be fired.
 
+Note: At least one the "gpios" or "alarm-gpios" properties must be set.
