You properly saw the email in linux-i2c, but will just it for
completeness.

The background for getting the warning, was upgrading a system on
Xilinx ZynqMP SoC from 4.14 to 4.19. As part of this upgrade wp (write
protect) has been introduced in the at24 driver, resulting in the
warning from comsumer.h as I don't have enabled GPIOLIB.
