Open Drain yes, for more esoterin pin config you may need to
also implement pin control, see Documentation/pinctrl.txt

Laurent has the same usecase I think, we need some fixes but
then we can detect (in the driver) that the gpio descriptor has
the open drain flag set in the .request() callback so you
can set it up there.

I don't understand this question.
