By enabled, I mean: CONFIG_GPIO_SYSFS=y This option (along with a few gpio devices) is needed to enable programming of such things as the I2C Mux through via the CPLDs on some OEM 'whitebox' switches that will leverage Software Defined Networking. This option can, of course, be set and users can build their own kernels, but, if at all possible they'd like to keep this as stock as they can. config GPIO_SYSFS bool "/sys/class/gpio/... (sysfs interface)" depends on SYSFS help Say Y here to add a sysfs interface for GPIOs. This is mostly useful to work around omissions in a system's kernel support. Those are common in custom and semicustom hardware assembled using standard kernels with a minimum of custom patches. In those cases, userspace code may import a given GPIO from the kernel, if no kernel driver requested it. Kernel drivers may also request that a particular GPIO be exported to userspace; this can be useful when debugging.
