At the moment our standard kernel configuration only
builds in the SM501 which will work without this patch
on.

However, we have clients that do build module kernels
and I would like to replace i2c-simtec.c with the gpio
driver and if the relevant module instantiating the gpio
support is loaded post kernel init, then we will need to
do this.
