My PXA270 based board uses a passive electrical circuit to detect a
CARD insert supplied by GPIO output current, so, in order to work, I
need to setup the GPIO as OUTPUT high level and then, thanks to a pull
down, I can read the CARD insert/removal event.

My solution is more generic then current one and applyes to those
architectures whose support such kind of GPIOs (as PXA27x does) with
no drawbacks for others.

Ciao,

Rodolfo
