Just to be clear, it's valid to have a dr_mode property in cases that
you cannot detect what the mode is dynamically. What I was questioning
was the wording about only valid for init.

Ah, with your explanation below I now understand what you mean here. I
think this needs to be re-written - I think it would be easier to
understand with s/gpio/pin/ in the second line.

Right, but what I'm looking for is a description for what each GPIO
does, so that someone can know how the dts should be written.

Okay. See my comment on it above.

Thanks,
Conor.
