Second set of IIO fixes for the 4.8 cycle.

We have a big rework of the kxsd9 driver queued up behind the fix below and
a fix for a recent fix that was marked for stable.
Hence this fix series is perhaps a little more urgent than average for IIO.
* core
  - a fix for a fix in the last set.  The recent fix for blocking ops when
   ! task running left a path (unlikely one) in which the function return
   value was not set - so initialise it to 0.
  - The IIO_TYPE_FRACTIONAL code previously didn't cope with negative
  fractions.  Turned out a fix for this was in Analog's tree but hadn't made
  it upstream.
* bmc150
  - reset chip at init time. At least one board out there ends up coming up
  in an unstable state due to noise during power up.  The reset does no
  harm on other boards.
* kxsd9
  - Fix a bug in the reported scaling due to failing to set the integer
  part to 0.
* hid-sensors-pressure
  - Output was in the wrong units to comply with the IIO ABI.
* tools
  - iio_generic_buffer: Fix the trigger-less mode by ensuring we don't fault
    out for having no trigger when we explicitly said we didn't want to have
    one.

Running lguest without arguments or with a wrong argument name
borks the terminal, because the cleanup handler is set up too late
in the initialization process.

Passing the trigger-less mode option on the command line causes
iio_generic_buffer to fail searching for an IIO trigger.
Fix this by skipping trigger initialization if trigger-less mode is
requested.

Technically it actually fixes:
7c7e9dad70 where the bug was introduced but as the window to the patch
below that changes the context was very small let's mark it with that.

 "Here are a few GPIO fixes for v4.8.

  I was expecting some fallout from the new chardev rework but nothing
  like that turned up att all.  Instead a Kconfig confusion that I think
  I have finally nailed, then some ordinary driver noise and trivia.

  This fixes a Kconfig issue with UM: when I made GPIOLIB available to
  all archs, that included UM, but the OF part of GPIOLIB requires
  HAS_IOMEM, so we add HAS_IOMEM as a dependency to OF_GPIO.

  This in turn exposed the fact that a few GPIO drivers were implicitly
  assuming OF_GPIO as their dependency but instead depended on OF alone
  (the typical problem being a pointer inside gpio_chip not existing
  unless OF_GPIO is selected) and then UM would fail to compile with
  these drivers instead.  Then I lost patience and made any GPIO driver
  depending on just OF depend on OF_GPIO instead, that is certainly what
  they meant and the only thing that makes sense anyway.  GPIO with just
  OF but !OF_GPIO does not make sense.

  Also a fix for the max730x driver data pointer, and a minor comment

We have to check if the values are &gt;= *_MAX, not just &gt;, fix it.

From the bugzilla report:

''In file /tools/perf/util/evsel.c  function __perf_evsel__hw_cache_name
it appears that there is a bug that reads beyond the end of the buffer.
The statement "if (type &gt; PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)" allows type to be
equal to the maximum value. Later, when statement "if
(!perf_evsel__is_cache_op_valid(type, op))" is executed, the function
can access array perf_evsel__hw_cache_stat[type] beyond the end of the
buffer.

It appears to me that the statement "if (type &gt; PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)"
should be "if (type &gt;= PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)"

Bug found with Coverity and manual code review. No attempts were made to
execute the code with a maximum type value.''

Committer note:

Testing it:

We have to check if the values are &gt;= *_MAX, not just &gt;, fix it.

From the bugzilla report:

''In file /tools/perf/util/evsel.c  function __perf_evsel__hw_cache_name
it appears that there is a bug that reads beyond the end of the buffer.
The statement "if (type &gt; PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)" allows type to be
equal to the maximum value. Later, when statement "if
(!perf_evsel__is_cache_op_valid(type, op))" is executed, the function
can access array perf_evsel__hw_cache_stat[type] beyond the end of the
buffer.

It appears to me that the statement "if (type &gt; PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)"
should be "if (type &gt;= PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)"

Bug found with Coverity and manual code review. No attempts were made to
execute the code with a maximum type value.''

perf tools build in recent kernels spews splat when cross compiling with uClibc:

               ^
This is after commit 61a6445e463a31 ("tools lib: Guard the strlcpy() header with
__GLIBC__").

The problem is uClibc also defines __GLIBC__ for exported headers for
applications. So add that specific check to not trip for uClibc.
