I'm not sure I got the usefulness of this change.
We request GPIO line as optional, so if one is defined it in the DT/ACPI, then
they probably want to (opportunistically) have it.
The certain driver may or may not utilize this GPIO.
With your change it's possible to have a DTS where GPIO line defined in a
broken way and user won't ever know about it, if they are using platforms
without termination support.
