AFAIK (I did not work on Armada for quite some time), only 32bit
Armada uses SPL. All 64bit Aramda 37xx / 7xxx / 8xxx do not use
SPL.

I understand.

I suggest to "depend" this driver on DM_GPIO and include the GPIO code
without any #ifdef's. And please run a world-build (buildman, Travis...)
to see, if nothing breaks.

Thanks,
Stefan
