If gpiolib is disabled, extcon-max3355.c might not operate it correctly.
Just this driver could be built without operation because gpiolib function
will not do the any behavior.

I think that it is not too much problem. I should send the pull request within this week.
If you want to need more discussion of extcon-max3355.c,
I will not include it on pull request for v4.5 because there is issue.
