Like we do with GPU support, GC320 support is conditional on the
kernel we are building and so should be disabled here for kernels
on which it is not functional yet.

We can then remove these disabling lines as the driver is updated
for each supported kernel, instead of blanket disabling in the
distro layer as done currently.

Andrew,

Thanks for the patches. Ryan and I were discussing them yesterday.

Couple points/questions:

1. There's meta-beagle restructuring going on in master right now - the 
changes are in master-next and should be merged to master shortly. I also 
just posted a series to backport these changes to scarthgap. That will 
affect your change below to ti-bsp.inc and will need to be re-spinned.

2. A more generic question... GC320 is a unique peripheral of legacy AM57/J6 
platforms and the driver for it hasn't been updated since 5.10 times. It 
has been disabled globally in the Distro layer for a couple years now. While 
I do understand your change to move this disablenent from the Distro to 
BSP, are there any plans to revive GC320 support and not simply remove it 
altogether?

No worries. The restructure looks good btw, looking forward to having
cleaner separation (and the new BeagleY-AI builds :D). I'll re-spin this
when meta-beagle lands in master and scarthgap.

The fix to get the GC320 kernel module building again is rather trivial. Just
never got around to pushing the fixes. So mostly just wishful thinking that it
will get re-enabled here at some point..

I have pushed all of the needed patches to scarthgap/master.  You can 
re-spin the series if you want.
