Ah, I mentioned in the cover letter that this was informational and I
didn't expect you to take it. Unfortunately I think you would need to
jump through all the regular hoops.

Roughly, the steps would be:
- Checkout AOSP: https://source.android.com/docs/setup/download/downloading
- Checkout libgpiod under external/
- Build AOSP: https://source.android.com/docs/setup/build/building

Of course I would appreciate if you went out of your way to take this,
but otherwise hopefully this public mailing list patch helps other
Android device manufacturers/tinkerers for now.
