Merge tag 'gpio-v3.17-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio

Pull GPIO fixes from Linus Walleij:
 - some documentation sync
 - resource leak in the bt8xx driver
 - again fix the way varargs are used to handle the optional flags on
   the gpiod_* accessors.  Now hopefully nailed the entire problem.
