Yes, all 3 GPIOs are configured as outputs:
CORGI_GPIO_LED_ORANGE in drivers/leds/leds-gpio.c
CORGI_GPIO_CHRG_ON in arch/arm/mach-pxa/corgi_pm.c
CORGI_GPIO_CHRG_UKN in arch/arm/mach-pxa/corgi_pm.c

OK, I see, your interpretation is that MFP_LPM_KEEP_OUTPUT is optional:
it should not apply if the pin is an input at the time
pxa2xx_mfp_suspend() is called.
My interpretation was that MFP_LPM_KEEP_OUTPUT is mandatory: it always
applies regardless of the current pin direction, exactly like
MFP_LPM_DRIVE_HIGH and MFP_LPM_DRIVE_LOW.

If your interpretation is correct then DRIVE_HIGH and DRIVE_LOW will
likewise need to check the state of GPDR at the time
pxa2xx_mfp_suspend() is called.
If my interpretation is correct then having KEEP_OUTPUT ignore the state
of GPDR in pxa2xx_mfp_suspend() is the correct thing to do.

Do you agree that KEEP_OUTPUT, DRIVE_HIGH and DRIVE_LOW should all be
consistent in being either optional or mandatory sleep mode
configurations?

I know, it makes no sense to specify KEEP_OUTPUT, DRIVE_HIGH or DRIVE_LOW
for GPIO inputs.
But since DRIVE_HIGH or DRIVE_LOW currently don't prevent that, the
presumption must be that GPIOs configured as DRIVE_HIGH or DRIVE_LOW are
being used as outputs. Likewise for KEEP_OUTPUT?

Only if you interpret KEEP_OUTPUT as an optional sleep mode configuration.

The problem is that MFP configurations of the form:
    GPIO<n>_GPIO | MFP_LPM_KEEP_OUTPUT,
will always set the sleep mode gpio direction to INPUT.
That is the case with corgi and would also be the case with hx4700.
That is the problem which needs to be solved.

Those solutions are fair enough.
Can we first answer the question of whether KEEP_OUTPUT, DRIVE_HIGH and
DRIVE_LOW are optional or mandatory sleep mode configurations. That may
determine the way forward.
