I had a quick look and yes, that's basically what I had in mind to
solve the issue. If callback is not available the old system should
be used of course.

The gpio is set when the pad is selected, so no need to do it again.
The gpio selection actually works with your branch (assuming its
based on Ivo's).

Would be nice to find something more abstract than isp_bus_cfg,
which is specific to omap3isp.
