It seems we are currently seeing an influx of drivers that can selectively
enable open drain on some pins. Can you please look at the
patches submitted by Laurent Pinchart for this so we get a
generic solution that works for everyone.

It's important that consumers can request open drain from
descriptor tables or device trees and that the driver says "no"
if this can not be satisfied.
