[PATCH v6 05/20] gpiolib: make cdev a build option

[Kent Gibson]

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.
