OK so pass a flag like a bool in your platform data from the
machine like go into <linux/platform_data/i2c-s3c2410.h>
and add:

struct s3c2410_platform_i2c {
        bool  use_that_old_gpio_interface;
        (...)
};

Instead of trying to semi-guess if the pinctrl framework is there?

Surely you know this when setting up the pdata from your machine?
