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.
