Ahh if that is the case, then there are actually users of this flag
already. 

"
git grep -lw "PIN_CONFIG_BIAS_DISABLE" drivers/gpio
drivers/gpio/gpio-aspeed.c
drivers/gpio/gpio-merrifield.c
drivers/gpio/gpio-omap.c
drivers/gpio/gpio-pca953x.c
"

This is also one of my arguments why I think having this new flag is
better than me adding a workaround for the device I'm supporting. Also,
in the cover I have a link to a new user (which is an input keyboard
driver that I'm refactoring) of this flag in .set_config().
