Zero-length ARM headers in git HEAD

[Jeff Garzik]

Gents,

In the following kernel commits,

	9c587c05d715ca8461342c2cb3b4a67036b5c22b
	ea5abbd215b749b2ff14397a47a5e65741c67bf4
	cc890cd78acd7ab03442907d354b6af34e973cb3

the file ...$platform/mach/gpio.h is replaced with an empty file.  This 
disagrees with kernel tradition and kernel makefiles, where zero length 
files are intentionally deleted when "make distclean" is executed.

As a result, git sequences such as "make distclean ; git checkout 
master" may fail, because several files are present in the index but not 
on disk, making it appear as if modifications have been made:

	$ git checkout master
	D	arch/arm/mach-lpc32xx/include/mach/gpio.h
	D	arch/arm/mach-tegra/include/mach/gpio.h
	D	arch/arm/mach-u300/include/mach/gpio.h

An update, either (a) making these files non-zero length or (b) deleting 
the files in git would be appreciated.  Reading the commit descriptions, 
it appears (a) is the correct path?

	Jeff
