question: pin mux & gpio

I've got a question WRT pin muxing.
gpio-intel-mid registers are responsible to set alternative functions to some pins. Despite pin mux is not directly related to gpio in general, in this case it is.

Is there any other gpio driver doing this same task? Or maybe suggestion about how to handle it?

I know this use case.

First read Documentation/pinctrl.txt :-)

Move the driver to drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-intel-mid.c in the next merge window, and add pin control interfaces in the style of the other combined pin control+GPIO drivers there. Keeping one state struct but exposing interfaces to both subsystems is perfectly acceptable. Use GPIO ranges to cross-reference GPIO lines to pins.
