I'm not suggesting you change pinctrl at all, so I'm not sure where you
got the idea that we'd need something so drastic as changing entire
subsystems. What I'm proposing should boil down to a new
configuration option to pass through the gpio userspace interface,
then adding appropriate support to the GPIO driver. We might need
to tinker with pinctrl a little to get the interfaces right, but nothing more.
