I came up with the enum, because I think most platforms having
"optional" GRF support actually require it, so I want to keep the
warning. At the same time I don't want to mark them as GRF required
at this point, since that is potentially a DT ABI break. It really
needs to be checked per platform in the TRM and/or by testing on
real HW. With this patch we can easily handle this platform by
platform by moving them from GRF_OPTIONAL to GRF_MANDATORY without
affecting the unchecked platforms. Also switching a platform from
optional to required needs to be reflected in the DT binding. So
this involves a lot of work. I think it makes sense to carry the
slightly complex check in the driver's probe routine for now.

Greetings,
