That's an old version. I suggest you download the latest users manual. I have 
rev. 1.14 (Sept. 2) here.

I remember that the early manual had some problems. GPIO being only one of 
them. Not sure if this is really fixed in the current manual. But the U-Boot 
code should show what's really correct. Code can't lie! ;)
