Sorry about the lack of response.
I'm not all that enthusiastic about this patch though...

But then we need to keep track of whether pullups used to be enabled so
that we can re-enable it in gpio_direction_input(), don't we?
I can't see the harm of keeping the pullup enabled while the port is
configured as output. For consistency, I'd rather honor the pullup flag
in at32_select_gpio() regardless of AT32_GPIOF_OUTPUT.

Hmm. I guess that makes sense, though I would be lying if I said I care
all that much. I think gpiolib is going pretty far to accommodate buggy
drivers that don't call gpio_request() as it is.
