Generally speaking, I think it is a good idea for mach-{mvebu,kirkwood,dove,mv78xx0,orion5x} to share as much infrastructure code as possible. A first step is obviously to migrate everybody to use the drivers/gpio mvebu driver and the drivers/pinctrl mvebu driver, and get rid of plat-orion/{gpio,mpp}.c once this work is done.
