Not sure whether I follow you here.

Do you mean for all the gpmc-* helpers existing initialization
needs to be modified to use the new interface, the previous version
was doing so. But then that will cause all boards using the same
gpmc-* helper to be converted at once (tusb6010 is not an issue as
only one board uses it), then the problem will be that there would
be a few commits where gpmc may not work properly.

And for a particular board, either it has to use old interface
or either the new interface, it cannot use both.

Consider the case of this one, smc91x, all sdp boards use it,
that requires nand, onenand, nor gpmc-* helpers to be converted
before board migration for say 3430sdp board, that would mean
that 2430sdp board would be broken w.r.t gpmc at that commit as
board modifications are not yet done for 2430. That in turn means
all the boards using nand, onenand would be broken at that point.
