Subject: [patch 2.6.25-rc1 2/3] gpiolib: i2c/spi drivers handler rmmod better

From: Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@...gutronix.de>

Use the newly introduced owner field in struct gpio_chip to protect 
the current (small) set of non-SOC GPIO drivers from being unloaded
while any of their GPIOs are in use.
