This out-of-tree code doesn't explain why we need to do the
enable/disable in the board file.  We just need to do things a bit
differently in the driver.  I'll start cleaning all this stuff up for
-next pretty soon.

For now, ie. 3.7 (stable) and 3.8, do we agree in taking this patch so
that TI-ST at least works on Panda? Simply reverting the gpio removal
patch doesn't help, because we also need to handle the UART2 muxing
(which my patch does as well).
