Dependencies are fine, as long as they are not circular. You can
either pull in the gpio/pins branch into the EMEV2 branch, or base it
on it.

While we try to keep most dependencies one-way and common between
platforms, as long as the combinations don't grow exponentially we can
deal with a couple of reverse ones by adding a new version of the
topic branch further down the list of merges to do (see dt2 or soc2 in
arm-soc today).
