Ah yeah you are right

The staging uapi headers don't look to be installed with the
standard install command. This makes sense given that staging
drivers are well staging and not yet stable.

The tools/gpio Makefile seems to do this trick to allow compilation
outside the kernel tree (it is a dependency for the gpio selftest)

#
# We need the following to be outside of kernel tree
#
$(OUTPUT)include/linux/gpio.h: ../../include/uapi/linux/gpio.h
mkdir -p $(OUTPUT)include/linux 2>&1 || true
ln -sf $(CURDIR)/../../include/uapi/linux/gpio.h $@

prepare: $(OUTPUT)include/linux/gpio.h

Maybe something like that needs to happen here unless Shuah has
any better ideas for headers?
