Any alternative suggestions?

Would you be happier with a hard "depends on GPIOLIB_LEGACY"?

I see only two in-tree users other than the old 6410 board
that use the modern path: exynos5433-tm2-common.dtsi
and drivers/platform/x86/x86-android-tablets/lenovo.c.

Making those platforms 'select GPIOLIB_LEGACY' is technically
incorrect since they don't need the legayc interfaces, but it
would be a temporary workaround until wlf_cragg_6410 is
gone.
