Could you help explain the logic of doing this? commit message is
basically the diff in English. To me, this does NOT make sense.

I understand GPIO_DAVINCI is the driver compatible, but we cant do this for
every single SoC driver that is NOT absolutely mandatory for basic
functionality.

Also keep in mind the impact to arm64/configs/defconfig -> every single
SoC in the arm64 world will be now rebuild with GPIO_SYSFS.. why force
that?
