What's the impact of enabling CONFIG_MACB_SIFIVE_FU540 when the GPIO 
driver isn't present?  (After modifying the Kconfig "depends" line 
appropriately.)

Looks to me that it shouldn't have an impact unless the DT string is 
present, and even then, the impact might simply be that the MACB driver 
may not work?
