Ahh, I see. So for the non-gpio function you have to set a value other than 0 or 1, correct?
And as an implementation detail you have to set the corresponding OE pin if the non-gpio function will need a tristate pin (or whatever).
So, the _DOUT_CFG will actually be shared between the pinctrl and the gpio driver, right? (I haven't done anything with pinctrl, so this might be a stupid question).
