You could eventually utilize the regulator framework to implement such GPIO toggling to provide/remove power to a given device. I have not looked at whether this is something controllable from user-space, but there is an in-kernel API to be a "consumer" of the regulator API. Of course this information should be made conditional to the device model.

[OpenWrt-Devel] Controlling POE passthrough via GPIO
Hi, within our wireless community we are using a couple of devices with the following features: * powered via POE through their first ethernet plug * another device can be powered via the second ethernet plug (POE passthrough switchable via GPIO) The POE passthrough feature can be controlled via GPIO pins. For our most common devices (Nanostation M5 and TP-Link CPE510) these are GPIO pins #2, #8 or #20 (depending on the model). Currently we are using a custom script (see attached) for these models. I have the feeling that this kind of hardware capabilities should be available within openwrt (similar to the LED setup). Is there anything related already implemented within openwrt? If not: where would you recommend to put it?
