I think we can get rid of gpiod_get_direction() if serial_mctrl_gpio implements its own way to query the direction (maybe using a bitmap in the mctrl_gpios and a mctrl_gpio_get_direction() function that queries that map). Using gpiod_get_direction() is just too unreliable. Janusz, since your change for mxs-auart is in -next, would you mind amending it to do this? Then we could do the same for atmel_serial and remove gpiod_get_direction() from the public GPIO interface. This function would do more harm than good anyway.
