See mach-omap2/clock.c for example for struct clk_functions.

Please do the changes in a set where each change patch can be
easily reviewed and tested. Maybe something like the following
patches:

1. Add support for passing platform_data to omap_gpio_init()
2. Add support for implementing SoC specific omap_gpio_AAA()
3. Add support for implementing SoC specific omap_gpio_BBB()
4. Add support for implementing SoC specific omap_gpio_CCC()
...

Tony
