Grrr I seem to have fallen off the list and don't have these mails
in my inbox ....

Anyways [1/3]:

Say that the GPIOs should *always* be flagged as open drain
using e.g. (GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH|GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN) as flags.

These should be deprecated. Nobody understands what they mean
anyway, but they mean "I set this line up as open drain behind your
back so don't try to do open drain emulation on me", which is just
totally convoluted.

The GPIO subsystems has ways to indicate this directly to the driver
nowadays.

Add an example?

Patch [2/3]: needs to be rewritten on top of the descriptor code.
(I can do it if you like.)

Patch [3/3] should be:

+ sda-gpios = <&pfc 208 (GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH|GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN)>;
+ scl-gpios = <&pfc 91 (GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH|GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN)>;
