If not, then > I would not add support for this at the moment. Well, the group of GPIO pins in question for the CX23885 are all multiplexed with other functions. We could just initialize the CX23885 to have those pins set as GPIOs, but I have to check the cx23885 driver to make sure that's safe. > Adding unused code is a bad > idea in general.

The same approach can be used for setting > the gpio pin directions. That too is something you setup at config time. Yup. OK, thanks.
