We have created the pin control subsystem to handle things like
this. (Muxing and complex control.)

Please create a driver in drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-sta2x11.c that
expose both a pinctrl and a GPIOlib interface. The GPIOlib
interface can call into the pin control portions just fine.

We've had some refactoring in the pin control subsystem recently
so check linux-next for the latest API. The documentation in
Documentation/pinctrl.txt should be pretty uptodate, else
tell me!

I'm giving a talk about pin control at ELC tomorrow, mail
me if you want a copy of the slides!

Yours,
Linus Walleij
