It doesn't matter that much exactly what signals get switched I think,
we can't really tell by the time we get back to the controller.

It sounds like this controller should be describing a mux all the time -
if there's completely separate output buses that you can switch between
then we'll need to know about that if someone wires up a GPIO chip
select.
