Nikolaus Schaller <hns@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> I understand the approach, but this is the wrong way to do it. Instead of indicating that a pin on the pin controller should be open drain, the *consumer* specifying its gpios = <....> should do this. I just sent a patch adding the bindings because Tony Lindgren and Grygorii Strashko approached me similar problems so let's begin with the bindings. Implementing it in the kernel requires some elaboration and it's going to be more complicated than this local approach, but it will be more generic and reusable so that is what we need to do.
