ISA_BUS_API is selected by drivers themselves when necessary. The
ISA_BUS Kconfig option is now simply a mask for true ISA device drivers
and relevant configuration. For now, the ISA_BUS Kconfig option is only
available for X86, but may be added for other arch builds in the future
if the need arises.

Patch applied to the GPIO tree for v4.17.

I'd like to have some ACK from some x86 maintainer for this
so it makes me a bit nervous.

Yet again the patch has been sitting since december with no
comments so...

Yours,
Linus Walleij
