I'm talking if they are used or not in hci_bcm.c.
Just checked and indeed the driver is using _optional() variants. This means GPIOLIB is optional to the driver.

It will time. Meanwhile, what is the best approach to avoid build break?
Taking into consideration above (hci_bcm.c driver uses _optional() variants) and no separate Kconfig option for platform code, I would go with a stub for gpiod_add_lookup_table() when !GPIOLIB.
Another option is to make this stub inside that driver. Btw, as far as I can see this is the only user which has no explicit dependency to GPIOLIB.
