no, hxd8 and gta02 have 2440. later down the road we might also
use the s3c2443.

well, lots of drivers are called '2410_something' and in fact work on a
combination of 2400,2410,2412,2440,2442 (and maybe even 2443) ;)

the driver functionality seems to work fine, only that GPIO
configuration seems broken on 2440.

hm, ok, sounds like a good compromise.

Well, nobody actually needs any tweak.  I am sure your driver works fine
without a flaw on most 24xx as long as you don't touch the GPIO config. 

Usually, I would assume that the bootloader configures the GPIO
correctly, i.e. the kernel driver should not have to change that.  But I
understand that many devices might have buggy/incomplete/incooperative
bootloaders...
