It is just switch off keeper circuit.

Some pads not have internal pullup, probably this is affected only for such pins.
This is example of this issue:
Used pad MX51_PAD_DISPB2_SER_CLK__GPIO3_7, (GPIO3.7 = 71).
External pullup resistor is used.

gpio_direction output 71 1
gpio_direction_input 71
gpio_get_value 71; echo $?
1
gpio_direction output 71 0
gpio_direction_input 71
gpio_get_value 71; echo $?
0

So, we cannot get "1" here anymore if only pullup is used for this pad. The pad is keep last logic state...
The second solution for this is disable PKE, i am not sure which solution is the best...
