The pre-generated ones are normally good for kernel headers, where the userspace
ABI is stable and so we don't need to change the generated bindings soon.

But in our case here, the ABI isn't that stable and will likely change soon
again for the first few months after v2.0 is released for libgpiod.

Perhaps, we should make it compile-only for the time being. Once the ABI is
stable enough, we can think of committing something to the source tree.
