Sorry, could you explain why it's appropriate to configure a pull here
at all, let alone why it's OK to have a random pull on the line?

Wouldn't it be better to pass GPIOF_OUT_INIT_HIGH or GPIOF_OUT_INIT_LOW
to gpio_request_one() based on S3C24XX_LEDF_ACTLOW, and avoid the call to
gpio_direction_output; that will avoid glitching the line for a short time.

I'm fine with the rest of the code.
