Unless you discover it after it hits the market, right?

I think this driver is just fine exactly where it is. Besides, the driver
is fully aware of all its pins, and just look at all the pull up etc
information displayed by byt_gpio_dbg_show(), it doesn't get more
pin control than that even if you don't implement the pin control
API.
