IIRC the most generally accepted way is to do

static inline bool gpio_is_valid(int pin)
{
	/* whatever */
}
#define gpio_is_valid gpio_is_valid

in the platform code and

#ifndef gpio_is_valid
/* provide definition of gpio_is_valid */
#endif

in the generic code. This way, there's only one symbol to grep for.
