The GPIO usage in the driver appears to be optional, it handles the GPIO
not being controllable.  This suggests to me that the gpiolib dependency
shouldn't be required and that it would be better to fix this by
ensuring that all the gpiolib functions being used have appropriate
stubs.  Which ones are causing problems?
