I'm fine with this if you add a user for it. I wonder though if it's
worth it to have this driver for barebox. If I have a driver in the
kernel that already uses it, then this makes it simple to copy it, but
should I have to write a new gpio driver, I'm unsure if it's simpler
to write a new gpio driver or to register with the generic gpio
driver.

Please do not unconditionally enable this for all configs.
