Thanks!

Yeah, I see your concern now...
Probably, we still need a combination of both: like in v1 of my patch,
just without changing the direction to input.

The only problem I can see here, is that the ops->reset_gpio
may be uninitialized ( = 0 ) and that will be a problem as 0 is a valid GPIO,
so there are several options here:
1) Change all the users of pxa_set_ac97_info() that provide non-NULL ops pointer
   to initialize the reset_gpio to -EINVAL (preferable)
2) We can check cpu_is_pxa27x().
3) We can check that provided GPIO is 95 or 113.

In such case you should not call pxa_set_ac97_info(), right?

Thought about that, but this means we request the GPIO in the driver but
configure it (gpio_direction_out()) in the arch code - this is a bit awkward.

I would go for implementing 1), unless we have no problem requesting the GPIO
in the driver and driving it in the arch code...
