[PATCH v2 09/11] fbdev: Allow compile test of GPIO consumers if !GPIOLIB

The GPIO subsystem provides dummy GPIO consumer functions if GPIOLIB is
not enabled. Hence drivers that depend on GPIOLIB, but use GPIO consumer
functionality only, can still be compiled if GPIOLIB is not enabled.

Relax the dependency on GPIOLIB if COMPILE_TEST is enabled, where
appropriate.

I do wonder why this is needed, though... I understand COMPILE_TEST if
the dependency in question is difficult/impossible to enable with your
kernel config (say, enabling OMAP SoC support with x86 config), but
isn't GPIOLIB something that can be trivially enabled in any kernel config?

While there are a few mfd and pinctrl drivers that select GPIOLIB, the
presence of GPIOLIB is mostly a platform feature. Not all architectures support
GPIOLIB yet.
