Subject: Re: [PATCH] GPIOLIB: add generic gpio_set_pull API

Hi Linus,
it seems people still use self-defined structure and APIs to set GPIO
pull, for example:

drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-nomadik.c:

 48 /* Pull up/down values */
 49 enum nmk_gpio_pull {
 50         NMK_GPIO_PULL_NONE,
 51         NMK_GPIO_PULL_UP,
 52         NMK_GPIO_PULL_DOWN,
 53 };

int nmk_gpio_set_pull(int gpio, enum nmk_gpio_pull pull)

or actually you mean use "pin_config_get" and "pin_config_set" with
self-defined configuration to set pull?

but i think at least the macros of GPIO_PULL_NONE, GPIO_PULL_UP and
GPIO_PULL_DOWN should be standardized.
