Now the sh-sci driver fails to probe on legacy platforms where GPIOLIB=n.
The check for -ENOSYS made it succeed before.

If sciport->gpios == ERR_PTR(-ENOSYS), CONFIG_GPIOLIB is not enabled, the
feature is not available, and mctrl_gpio_to_gpiod() will not
dereference the error
pointer.

Then I have to add checks for sciport->gpios == ERR_PTR(-ENOSYS)...
