I have the same issue with Nomadik pin control that I use as a
testbed: there is a backend in pin control to the GPIO side.

I was thinking about adding a new cross call. We now have this:

/* External interface to pin control */
extern int pinctrl_request_gpio(unsigned gpio);
extern void pinctrl_free_gpio(unsigned gpio);
extern int pinctrl_gpio_direction_input(unsigned gpio);
extern int pinctrl_gpio_direction_output(unsigned gpio);

I was going to add:

extern int pinctrl_gpio_set_config(unsigned gpio, unsigned long config);

That can be used by GPIO drivers to call back into pincontrol
and set up any config flags using the conventions of the
corresponding pin control back-end.

This could be used for as well open drain as other things (like
pull-up) as the userspace ABI matures (it currently only has
in/out and open drain/source).

What do you think about this idea?

Nice! :)

Thanks.
