Actually I think the way the toggle call came about was for this one
MMC usecase.

Then other subsystems have used it without asking the GPIO
maintainers or without implementing the more proper accessors
or patching drivers/gpio/gpiolib-of.c because why not, probably
thinking something like "hey weird that it is just toggle I guess they
are not so smart, but it works, ship it".
