[PATCH v2 03/18] gpiolib: make cdev a build option

From: Kent Gibson
Date: Sat Jul 25 2020 - 00:21:14 EST


Make the gpiolib-cdev module a build option. This allows the CDEV
interface to be removed from the kernel to reduce kernel size in
applications where is it not required, and provides the parent for
other other CDEV interface specific build options to follow.
