File no-suid.patch of Package wiringpi

Author: Dave Jones <dave.jones@canonical.com>
Description: Removed check for root on execution of gpio.
 The wiringPi library already has the ability to use the unprivileged
 /dev/gpiomem device if it can't open /dev/mem so there's no need to require
 root access for the gpio command, and hence no need to set the gpio command
 to have suid root privileges.
