As there are peripherals using helper functions, to handle those, you
meant to create a new altered similar function to deal for each too ?,
while keeping existing functions as such.

i.e. like having gpmc_smsc911x_init & gpmc_smsc911x_new_init for
each peripheral ?, with gpmc_smsc911x_new_init using gpmc driver,
and gpmc_smsc911x_init as is.

Afzal
