Just a thought:

Maybe the lowest impact is to just patch in the extra operations
directly in the existing Intel pin control/GPIO driver in
drivers/pinctrl/intel?

I don't know how this is detected by the system (I guess some
ACPI magic since it's Intel, in DT we can detect the top-level
board) but it can certainly be done and
probably replaced with compiled-out stubs if not used.

This might not be what Andy desires though, I think he has
the final word on how this should be engineered.
