This is an incompatible behaviour change.  enable-gpio is an optional
property, we check later if we got a valid GPIO and happily continue if
we didn't.  The driver should instead explicitly check for -EPROBE_DEFER
and handle that case separately, allowing the device to probe in cases
where the GPIO is just not provided.
