The proper way to do this is just always use the _cansleep() version.
gpio_set_value() only works for chips which do not sleep,
gpio_set_value_cansleep() works for both those who do sleep and those who do
not.

To the gpio-list: Has it been considered to have sth. like
gpio_set_value and gpio_set_value_nosleep? I'd think it makes more sense
to have the specific function have the specific name.

It has been a few times, but I think the conclusion has always been that it is now too late to invert the semantics of gpio_set_value(). If you want to look up the discussions the keyword is gpio_set_value_atomic().
