Sorry for the late reply.
There are two conditions if external device input data into SOC.
1. Change GPIO direction to input.
2. Switch on input.

Thanks for this info.
>From Sherman's comment, PIN_CONFIG_INPUT_ENABLE seems only to stand for
the condition 2.

* @PIN_CONFIG_INPUT_ENABLE: enable the pin's input.  Note that this does
not affect the pin's ability to drive output.  1 enables input, 0
disables input.

Then I get confuse if we can change direction under this property.

Thanks.
