It certainly is adding new callback functions to board-*.c files looking
at the diffstat :)

IMHO the right fix is to revert eccf2979 that caused the regression and then
adding the muxing to the board-*.c file(s).

It's OK for the driver to call the standard GPIO functions, and those will
be needed in the driver for the DT case anyways.
