Hm OK you have a clear point there, there is no such callback.

OK I do not require you to fix that at this time.

I am hesitant about providing ever more callbacks from GPIO
to pin control, I might need some help for consolidation here.

With Mika's patches we have a .set_config() call to
pinctrl_gpio_set_config() so essentially
we *could* actually refactor all pin control drivers providing
a GPIO back-end to use:

pinctrl_gpio_set_config(gpio, PIN_CONF_PACKED(PIN_CONFIG_INPUT_ENABLE, 0));
pinctrl_gpio_set_config(gpio, PIN_CONF_PACKED(PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT, val));

And replace the calls to pinctrl_gpio_direction_input()
and pinctrl_gpio_direction_output() with this throughout.

It makes things a bit simpler. If we need to figure things
out the reverse direction then pinctrl_gpio_get_config()
should be implemented and used as back-end for
figuring out direction.
