Please create a new struct, a new file and put all the GPIO stuff in
there rather than #if bombing the driver.

You can then declare blank methods for the gpio stuff if GPIO is not
compiled in - ie in the headers


#ifdef CONFIG_GPIOLIB
extern int ftdi_gpio_open(struct ftdi_private *priv);
etc...
#else
extern inline  int ftdi_gpio_open(struct ftdi_private *priv) { return 0 };
#endif


that keeps the code itself clean and easy to read and also ensures all
the types are checked everywhere we want.

Functionality wise nothing stands out as a problem. I would expect -EBUSY
not -ENXIO if the port was being used for GPIO so could not be used for
tty.

I would favour the new config option.
