I just saw the AK8975/AK09911 config options disappear for a v4.0-rc3 m68k
allmodconfig kernel. Apparently it built fine with !GPIOLIB before, as many
gpiolib (consumer) functions have dummies for the !GPIOLIB case.

So I think the GPIOLIB dependency can be relaxed to "GPIOLIB || COMPILE_TEST".
The same may be true for many other GPIOLIB consumer drivers.
Will look into it and send patches...

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
