If you look at the top I agree that this solution may be only one platform
specific, but it fixes the broken driver of i.MX I2C bus controller.

Why do you get an impression that it looks like a hack?

Why pinctrl_select_state() is not done in gpio_request_one()? Because
the first function gets pin mux/config setting and the second does not.
How do you intend to get pin mux/config setting in gpio_request_one()?

Anyway I don't see any problems in pinctrl or gpio subsystems, the bugs
must be addressed and fixed in i2c.
