+Subject: [PATCH] gpiolib: fix up emulated open drain outputs
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Disposition: inline
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
+
+gpiolib has a corner case with open drain outputs that are emulated.
+When such outputs are outputting a logic 1, emulation will set the
+hardware to input mode, which will cause gpiod_get_direction() to
+report that it is in input mode. This is different from the behaviour
+with a true open-drain output.
+
+Unify the semantics here.
