gpio: return NULL from gpiod_get_optional when GPIOLIB is disabled

Browse Source 
Given the intent behind gpiod_get_optional() and friends it does not make
sense to return -ENOSYS when GPIOLIB is disabled: the driver is expected to
work just fine without gpio so let's behave as if gpio was not found.
Otherwise we have to special-case -ENOSYS in drivers.

Note that there was objection that someone might forget to enable GPIOLIB
when dealing with a platform that has device that actually specifies
optional gpio and we'll break it. I find this unconvincing as that would
have to be the *only GPIO* in the system, which is extremely unlikely.

Note that gpio_get*_optional() functions (and their managed variants), unlike
the rest of gpiolib API, also return NULL when gpiolib support is disabled.
This is helpful to driver authors, since they do not need to special case
-ENOSYS return codes. System integrators should however be careful to enable
gpiolib on systems that need it.
For a function using multiple GPIOs all of those can be obtained with one call:
struct gpio_descs *gpiod_get_array(struct device *dev,
