GPIO_182 is to select where to route the MIC line from the jack for the
ECI core to handle (when the TVOUT is disabled). I have no idea what the
gpio_178 should have been used for. It might be only needed for early
protos but not in production devices?

Not sure if n900 had full support for ECI, afaik n9 did supported it.
The ECI input driver was sent upstream, but can not recall the reason
why it is not in mainline:
