Then implement pin control for this driver instead of inventing a custom hack?
https://docs.kernel.org/driver-api/pin-control.html

Several drivers implement pin control with a GPIO front-end, for example:
drivers/gpio/gpio-pl061.c is used as a front end with
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-single.c

There are also composite drivers in drivers/pinctrl that implement both
pincontrol (incl muxing) and GPIO, such as drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-sx150x.c
