I'm sorry, I don't understand what do you mean by "AF-input"?
For GPIO95 AF1 means AC97_nRESET and GPDR settings should not meter at all.
So setting GPDR for GPIO95/113 to input is only a safety measure.

Hmmm... I've opened the PXA27x dev manual once again in several years.
Ok. I was mislead by all the newer SoC where direction pins do not count
unless the MFP in AF-GPIO. As I've remembered now, it is not true for PXA27x.

This is what the manual says:
"Each pin can be programmed as an output, an input, or as bidirectional
for certain alternate functions (that override the value programmed in the
GPIO direction registers)."

So, you're right and GPDR does meter for AC97_nRESET.
I'll send a v2.

Thanks!
