Yes that's true, although be aware that the gpio_request() and
gpio_direction_output() will in fact always fail at present, since
they are called before the GPIO driver is inited pre-reloc. But since
it has happened in SPL it doesn't matter.
I haven't tested this, and it's icky to rely on failure and not
checking the return code, and I slightly prefer Alban's solution at
least for now. This is only going to be a problem for another month or
so.

Simon
