Why not just put this pointer ...

into the .data field after the .compatible match, and make it more specific
to the soc, i.e.

static const struct of_device_id nmk_gpio_match[] = {
	{ .compatible = "st-ericsson,u8500-i2c", .data = &u8500_i2c },
	{ .compatible = "st,nomadik-i2c", .data = &default_i2c_controller },
};
