Exactly. I cced them to draw their attention.

Yes.

I didn't see the case yet. Input pin normally has a corresponding driver.

config-on-boot is not specific for gpio, but may be for others. For
example, regulators. For now, it only has output gpios.

Yes. But it's better be called at machine init after populate devices.

Yes.

strict reset is too complicated for config-on-boot. It may need delay
some time case by case. I don't have the case yet. But someone may
add it if it really needed, probably with addon properties.
