If the pins can be set independently of the mode, and in principle be
used as general purpose output-only pins, then you should use the
gpiolib interface.

However, in the last patch it did look like the gpio-implementation was
intertwined with mode selection, something which made it seem like a bad
fit.

Would you be able to separate it, and specifically, make the gpio and
mode-handling generic and not specific for your evaluation board?

Thanks,
Johan
