In my eyes this is too broken to do. Not sure I have the complete
picture, but given a small period (say 2) this 1 cycle might result in
50 % duty cycle. Depending on how the hardware behaves if you disable
it, better do this instead.

Are you aware of the series adding such gpio support to the imx driver?

@Thierry: So there are three drivers now that could benefit for a
generic approach.

Best regards
Uwe
