[PATCH] ARM/ARM64: defconfig: drop GPIO_SYSFS on multiplatforms

[PATCH] ARM/ARM64: defconfig: drop GPIO_SYSFS on multiplatforms

[Linus Walleij]

The sysfs ABI to GPIO is marked obsolete and should not be
encouraged. Users should be encouraged to switch to using the
character device.

Let's begin by removing it from the multi defconfigs. Then
as time goes by I can aggressively remove it from other
defconfigs.

Hmm, while this is a trivial change, we normally put the defconfig
changes for arm and arm64 into two separate next/* branches.

I've split the patch up accordingly and slightly modified the
changelog text to match.

OK thanks a lot Arnd, I was a bit uncertain about that.
