I would expect that we can always select ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB, ARM_AMBA,
ARM_GIC and GENERIC_GPIO for ARM64. Do you expect to see systems that
don't have all of those?

I think it would be more appropriate for these two to check the presence of
the individual devices, and move the caller into the actual device driver,
rather than checking for the root node of the device tree.

There may be cases where we want to check the root node, but both the clock
setup and the sysreg should both be detectable.
