Well, that depends on how skilled you are at modifying u-boot and the linux 
kernel?

In each case, modify the code that toggles the GPIO pin by printing text to the 
console when the GPIO you want is modified. You could always issue a kernel 
dump when that GPIO is modified, which will list the call sequence that causes 
the GPIO toggle. For the Kernel, I believe the code you want is in 
drivers/gpio/gpio-omap.c, but I haven’t looked at u-boot in a while, but it 
should be simple to find the equivalent code. 

If you had a decent JTAG emulator, you could simply set a breakpoint on the 
GPIO toggle and then look at the call stack to see which routing is 
responsible. 

Regards,
John
