I've gone with this:
+config GPIO_CDEV
+ bool
+ prompt "Character device (/dev/gpiochipN) support" if EXPERT
+ default y
so the entry is always present in menuconfig, and GPIO_CDEV_V1 can still
depend on it, but GPIO_CDEV can only be disabled if EXPERT is set.

Just ignore me - the earlier code patches need the define else the V1
will be compiled out.
Cheers,
Kent.
