Subject: [ 094/117] gpio: mpc8xxx: Prevent NULL pointer deref in demux handler

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

commit d6de85e85edcc38c9edcde45a0a568818fcddc13 upstream.

commit cfadd838(powerpc/8xxx: Fix interrupt handling in MPC8xxx GPIO
driver) added an unconditional call of chip->irq_eoi() to the demux
handler.

This leads to a NULL pointer derefernce on MPC512x platforms which use
this driver as well.

Make it conditional.
