Multi-platform requires various kconfig options to be selected, so
platforms don't need to select them individually.

OK makes sense. Maybe a bit unintuitive that multiplat
make gpiolib wanted optional and then platforms override
this by requiring it, but whatever, I cannot think of anything
better.

It's really just about making gpiolib visible. Can we just kill the
symbol or there are still non-gpiolib users that would conflict?

Oh no and yes. I'm working on trying to get rid of that
old cruft, but the problem is that I basically have to acquire
or delete these platforms to get them off the "generic GPIO"
API (i.e. just a set of functions with certain names).

Old habits die hard you know.

Having the symbol default-selected by multiplatform definately
puts up a roadblock stopping new platforms from doing
anything like that again so at second thought I really like
this patch:
