If we add this API - the remaining gpio controls like drive strength and
function select could also be added, which eats into the pinmux domain.
Linus W. had a patch earlier which added an API for a gpio config to be
specified through gpiolib. " gpio: add a custom configuration mechanism
to gpiolib" which is sort of an extensible model of this API.
