Usually for GPIO data registers the read value is current pin state regardless of direction and the written value is what to drive as an output.

This is not specific to you, so why do you solve it in a way that only works for you? If you want to add tuning parameters to the i2c bit algorithm, why don't you do so in a way that works for all users? I'm sure the I2C maintainer and others have some opinion on this, but they'll never see it hidden away in some display driver. > and you want to see what will happen if you change it from 5 to 2. > > modify device tree is enough, have to recompile the kernel and driver > modules every time.
