Fortunately, this is currently not a problem as the gpiochip driver does
not implement the set_config() callback, which means that the attempt to
change the pin configuration currently always fails with -ENOTSUP (see
gpio_do_set_config()).
Specifically, this means that the software fallback kicks in, which I
had already verified.
Now, perhaps there is some other path which can allow you to end up
here, but it's at least not via gpiod_direction_output().
The msm pinctrl binding does not allow 'drive-open-drain' so that path
should also be ok unless you have a non-conformant devicetree.

I guess hardware open-drain mode has never been properly tested on
ipq4019.

I believe this should be -ENOTSUPP, which the rest of the driver and
subsystem appear to use.
