Subject: [PATCH] Define a NO_GPIO macro to compare against and to use as an
 invalid GPIO

As discussed on i2c mailing list with David Brownell, and number
outside of the 0...MAX_INT range is invalid as a GPIO number.
Define a macro, similar to NO_IRQ, to be used as a deliberate
invalid GPIO, rather than defining a is_valid_gpio() macro.
