Yes, change them to optional. I think it is a problem (regardless of
Rob's ack) because you are merging a driver requiring a property which
soon you want to remove. If you merge it (like this) removal of
te-gpios property will be breakage of ABI. This is not a serious
problem but knowing such plan of te-gpios removal upfront, it would be
wrong to commit such driver.

Best regards,
