Please let me know what you think. I do have a modified version of Boris' first patch addressing your original comments which I am planning to submit if you it is still a valid idea.

This feature would be very nice to have as we now have to insert the board related gpio setting code in the pdata-quirks which works temporarily but we are looking for an upstreamable solution. I am leaning toward taking Boris patch set and reworking them given the comments you already had, unless you have a better ideas in mind.
