As it stands, there is no way for userspace to change a pin from gpio input to gpio output as it is based on the reciever active bit in the pin control register (table 9-60 in the AM3358 datasheet [0]). I thought it would be useful to at least define the GPIOs available for use on the PocketBeagle by default (and eventually the other BeagleBone device trees). Input seems to be the safest value. This patch at least makes it more clear where the user should edit to switch from input to output. > Needing to change the dts does not sound good to me..

However, I think something would need to be added to the pinconf support in pinctrl-single for that to be possible. There are bias properties but non for receiver enable. Does it seem sensible to add that? thanks, drew [0] http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/am3358.pdf
