Say yes here to enable the GPIO Aggregator, which provides a way to
aggregate existing GPIO lines into a new virtual GPIO chip.
This can serve the following purposes:
- Assign permissions for a collection of GPIO lines to a user,
- Export a collection of GPIO lines to a virtual machine,
- Provide a generic driver for a GPIO-operated device in an
industrial control context, to be operated from userspace using
the GPIO chardev interface.
