At present the GPIO uclass mirrors what was in U-Boot before driver model. It works well in most cases but is becoming cumbersome with things like pull-up/down and drive strength. In those cases it is easier for the driver to deal with all the flags at one, rather than piece by piece.
In fact the current API does not officially have a method for adjusting anything other than the direction flags. While set_dir_flags() and get_dir_flags() do in fact support changing other flags, this is not documented. Secondly, set_dir_flags actually ORs the current flags with the new ones so it is not possible to clear flags. It seems better to use a clr/set interface (bit clear followed by OR) to provide more flexibility. Finally, direction_input() and direction_output() are really just the same thing as set_dir_flags(), with a different name. We currently use the latter if available, failing back to the former. But it makes sense to deprecate the old methods. This series makes the above changes. Existing drivers are mostly left alone, since they should continue to operate as is. The sandbox driver is updated to add the required new tests and the x86 driver is switched over to the new API. The STM32 driver should be checked to make sure the open source/open drain features still work as intended.
