Not Linus and not Bart, but we have tons of drivers that call GPIO APIs
unconditionally as long as they want optional GPIO.

What I see here is the comment that should be rewritten to say something like

"if GPIO is defined blablabla, otherwise blablabla."

I.o.w. do not mention that implementation detail (being NULL, i.e. optional).
