No, no general ("technical") issue with adding a .request hook to the gpio
driver. But now you are now moving the original workaround to an even more
invisible place which does things implicitly. Maybe just don't remove the
pinctrl from the boards u-boot-dtsi's - just replace it with

&pcie30x2m1_pins {
     rockchip,pins =
              <2 RK_PD4 4 &pcfg_pull_none>,
              <2 RK_PD6 RK_FUNC_GPIO &pcfg_pull_none>,
              <2 RK_PD5 4 &pcfg_pull_none>;
};

Even if it would (now) work without. It, at least, documents that there are
things left to do for the upstream DT.

What you were saying in reply to Mark's email is not completely true: Not
all pins are initialized with gpio func as default. It actually depends on
the pin which function the bootrom sets initially. In case of RK356x's
GPIO2_PD6 (the pin in question) it's BT656_D6M0 (func2), for instance. So,
in fact, you are changing it's function when implicitly setting it's func
to gpio (func0).
