How can you be certain that you don't break corgi, with the proposed patch?

Correct, but with your patch, the direction will be forced to output,
but the value will be undefined...

Well, it has... in the pxa2xx_mfp_suspend() function you've pasted below.

Yes, but you don't force the PGSR to be set...
and that is the problem.

Look at the check above...
the PGSR only gets set for the GPIOs configured to output
(presumably by gpio_direction_output() function).

Well, it is different, because the in case of MFP_LPM_DRIVE_*,
the PGSR is set in the __mfp_config_gpio() function and has a _known value_.

Yes. That is exactly my point here.
MFP_LPM_DRIVE_* has the value determined and set.
MFP_LPM_KEEP_OUTPUT does not, but with your patch it will effectively
force the GPIO to be output in sleep mode, but with no value set!

I still, can't understand, why MFP_LPM_DRIVE_* does not do the job for you...
What's the real problem with using MFP_LPM_DRIVE_*?
Can't you specify it for those GPIO72/96?
