commit 703f03c896fdbd726b809066ae279df513992f0e upstream.

As stated in drivers/mfd/cs5535-mfd.c, the mfd driver exposes the BARs
which then make the GPIO, MFGPT, ACPI, etc.  all visible to the system.

So the dependencies of the MFGPT stuff have changed, and most people
expect Kconfig to bring in the necessary dependencies.  Without them, the
module fails to load and most people don't understand why because the
details of the rewrite aren't captured anywhere most people who know to
look.

This dependency needs to be reflected in Kconfig.

It doesn't make much sense to have CS5535_MFGPT_DEFAULT_IRQ show up in
configs that cannot have CS5535_MFGPT.

With generic modular drivers handling all of this stuff, the
geode-specific code can go away.  The cs5535-gpio, cs5535-mfgpt, and
cs5535-clockevt drivers now handle this.

This is based on the old code on arch/x86/kernel/mfgpt_32.c, except it's
not x86 specific, it's modular, and it makes use of a PCI BAR rather than
a random MSR.  Currently module unloading is not supported; it's uncertain
whether or not it can be made work with the hardware.

This driver supports the non-volatile digital potentiometers via I2C:
AD5258, AD5259, AD5251, AD5252, AD5253, AD5254, and AD5255

It provides a sysfs interface to each device for reading/writing which
is documented in Documentation/misc-devices/ad525x_dpot.txt.
