I don't think so, I believe selecting is done by ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB only.

Reading drivers/gpio/Kconfig confuses me a bit. I believe I should
select ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB, because the board can boot without
GPIOs, they are needed for LEDs and buttons only. Also most users will
want LEDs and buttons, so I "select GPIOLIB".
