if a router uses the 2nd gpio core it can enable it inside its own dts
file. if the gpio core is not used then it does not need to be
enabled. its like loading a wifi driver for a wifi card that does not
get used. it will just eat up memory and power.
we could argue whether it makes sense or not i guess, maybe a matter
of personal taste .. for the sake of consistency i would like to keep
it this way.
