Yes, this is a good question. I don't know what is the spacial thing platforms
need to do in the callback..

Sure it need to be fixed. I would try to revert the patch which caused the
issue (eccf2979 drivers/misc/ti-st: remove gpio handling).

Should fix the legacy boot, but it is going to be even bigger fun to move to
DT (and get rid of the callbacks).

I don't have anything against this patch as such. Just wanted to point out the
obvious that the comfort of callbacks are not going to be around in some cases.
