Yes. Is that not enough?

Hmm, what do you mean?

I do mux the pins to gpios, but there's nothing in the kernel that would
use those gpios. That's why we had the hack above, but I'd love to get
rid of it.

Can I set the pins to GPIO mode, and set the GPIO to high/low in the .dts?

If things were perfect, we probably would have a driver for the "switch"
part. I have no idea what kind of driver that would be, though, so at
the moment we've just gone with the use-LCD2-by-default route.
