This is simply not true. If the GPIO is not specified,
gpiod_get_optional() will return NULL and GPIO APIs will work just
fine.

That being said: the contract for whether a GPIO is needed or not is
not in the driver C code or released DT sources. It's in the bindings
documents under Documentation/devicetree/bindings/. This is the source
of truth. So if the binding for a given model has always said
"required: enable-gpios" then we're absolutely in our rights to fix
the driver to conform to that even if previously omitted. If you think
otherwise - relax the bindings first.
