Custom gpio.h has been disabled, this file won't be used, it can just
be dropped.

Is this really needed? If not I would not add it to keep the maintenance
burden down.

I wanted to use something similar on ATH79 once all boards moved to DT.
On the other hand I saw that BMIPS use a dedicated property on the CPU
node to represent the HPT frequency. If possible it would make sense to
use a common scheme for all MIPS platforms. However I personally don't
know enough about MIPS in general to judge this.

On the other hand I think it might make more sense to have a dedicated
node in DT to represent the HPT timer instead of hacking on the CPU
node. That would also fit better if the HPT code ever become is a real
driver.
