CONFIG_ICE_GNSS was added by commit c7ef8221ca7d ("ice: use GNSS subsystem
instead of TTY") as a way to allow the ice driver to optionally support
GNSS features without forcing a dependency on CONFIG_GNSS.

The original implementation of that commit at [1] used IS_REACHABLE. This
was rejected by Olek at [2] with the suggested implementation of
CONFIG_ICE_GNSS.

Eventually after merging, Linus reported a .config which had
CONFIG_ICE_GNSS = y when both GNSS = n and ICE = n. This confused him and
he felt that the config option was not useful, and commented about it at
[3].

CONFIG_ICE_GNSS is defined to y whenever GNSS = ICE. This results in it
being set in cases where both options are not enabled.

The goal of CONFIG_ICE_GNSS is to ensure that the GNSS support in the ice
driver is enabled when GNSS is enabled, while ensuring that ICE = y and
GNSS = m don't break.

The complaint from Olek about the original IS_REACHABLE was due to the
required IS_REACHABLE checks throughout the ice driver code and the fact
that ice_gnss.c was compiled regardless of GNSS support.

This can be fixed in the Makefile by using ice-$(CONFIG_GNSS) += ice_gnss.o

If GNSS = m, then this will add ice_gnss.o to ice-m, which will be ignored
if we're not compiling ice as a module, and thus we will skip compiling
GNSS code just as with CONFIG_ICE_GNSS.

Drop CONFIG_ICE_GNSS, and replace the IS_ENABLED checks for it with
IS_REACHABLE checks for GNSS. Update the Makefile to add the ice_gnss.o
object based on CONFIG_GNSS.

This works on my system to ensure that GNSS support is optionally included
without any need for additional config options, and it works correctly in
at least the following configurations:

1. CONFIG_ICE = m, CONFIG_GNSS = m
2. CONFIG_ICE = y, CONFIG_GNSS = m
3. CONFIG_ICE = m, CONFIG_GNSS = y

This solution should resolve the complains Olek made regarding compilation
of ice_gnss.o and additional unnecessary IS_REACHABLE checks, while also
avoiding extra config flags.

I'm sending to both Intel-wired-lan and netdev lists since this was
discussed publicly on the netdev list. I'm not sure how we want to queue it
up, so I currently have it tagged as intel-net to go through Tony's IWL
tree. I'm happy however it gets pulled. I believe this is the best solution
as the total number of #ifdefs is the same as with CONFIG_ICE_GNSS, as is
the Makefile line. As far as I can tell the Kbuild just does the right thing
here so there is no need for an additional flag.

I'm happy to respin with a "depends" check if we think the flag has other
value.
