I just had a closer look at the patch.
I do not like the way how this is added, but if you just have 2 seconds
time to call the gpio I do not know a better way.

How long do you have to send the ping on the gpio after the boot? Do you
have a log for me without this patch, so that I can see if there is a
better position for this code?
