But you are affecting everyone. I'm not saying we shouldn't do this. I'm
just highlighting the reason this is a problem and gpio is just one
instance. I think sub-arches should either always select OF or not.
Trying to do both is just going to be a pain to maintain.

Yes, I understand the concept. To look at it another way, this has been
here for a long time without issue because CONFIG_OF was designed to be
selected at arch level.

I have no idea what you are referring to.
