 imx: Configure output to GPIO in disabled state

Hello Michal,

just to state it more explicitly, I think the following patch (not even
compile tested) is much preferable over your approach:

diff --git a/drivers/pwm/pwm-imx.c b/drivers/pwm/pwm-imx.c
index 1d5242c9cde0..af88644b5efb 100644
--- a/drivers/pwm/pwm-imx.c
+++ b/drivers/pwm/pwm-imx.c
@@ -216,7 +216,14 @@ static int imx_pwm_apply_v2(struct pwm_chip *chip, struct pwm_device *pwm,
 			cr |= MX3_PWMCR_POUTC;
 
 		writel(cr, imx->mmio_base + MX3_PWMCR);
-	} else if (cstate.enabled) {
+	} else if (cstate.enabled && state->polarity == PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL) {
+		/*

+		 * people however is that after disabling the pin goes to the
+		 * inactive level which isn't given for an inversed pwm, so
+		 * only disable for normal polarity.
+		 */
 		writel(0, imx->mmio_base + MX3_PWMCR);
 
 		clk_disable_unprepare(imx->clk_per);

I think it solves most if not all problems you want to address with the
pinctrl stuff.

Best regards
Uwe
