Hi Russel,
Sorry for the late reply, its been a busy week.
I have tried doing exactly that and calling:
if (bri->pinctrl)
pinctrl_select_state(bri->pinctrl, bri->pins_gpio);
/* change the state of the pins back to their default state */
if (bri->pinctrl)
pinctrl_select_state(bri->pinctrl, bri->pins_default);
However doing that in the generic code does not work, only thing that has
worked so far is removing the GPIO pinctrl call completely.
Regards,
Robert
