But it can work well even without that and I'd like to add some function to export some control GPIOs through /sys/class/gpio interface (bluetooth power, GSM power, GSM reset...) - this GPIO will be also exported there...

There can be problem with this. It's easy to create such function, but there is no place for initialization so I would need to call gpio_register() and gpio_direction_output() in machine init function or even elsewhere which I find a bit nasty. Should I try to update pxafb to support LCD power through GPIO too or go nasty way?

Thanks
