I was looking at [1] shared by Jon and come up with the following
patch that does something similar for OMAP GPIO. This has the
advantage that is local to gpio-omap instead changing gpiolib-of and
also doesn't require DT changes
But I don't want to get a reputation for abusing APIs neither :-)

Javier
