The pinmux driver needs to have strict set to false, otherwise the 
switching is not available, not at this time at least. Perhaps there is 
room for improvement here, because the I2C bus is not using the pins 
while we are doing GPIO recovery.

I saw them, I will try to take a look.
I am not sure I'll have time the next week to work on what you asked me 
regarding sh_mobile and PXA, but I will look into it the week after that.
Sorry about my delayed reply, I was on vacation.
