right in that the character device is the only way to set this

ATM and. However I would like to see the first user added

with the series because adding features nobody uses in the

kernel tree is generally frowned upon and it's also not clear
that
anyone actually wants to use it.

Hmm, you mean something like a system's devicetree needing this
flag?
If so, I don't really have such a thing. I did all my testing on a
rpi
using overlays.

I would assume a driver with a .set_config() responding to this flag?

Ahh if that is the case, then there are actually users of this flag
already. 

"
git grep -lw "PIN_CONFIG_BIAS_DISABLE" drivers/gpio
drivers/gpio/gpio-aspeed.c
drivers/gpio/gpio-merrifield.c
drivers/gpio/gpio-omap.c
drivers/gpio/gpio-pca953x.c
"

This is also one of my arguments why I think having this new flag is
better than me adding a workaround for the device I'm supporting. Also,
in the cover I have a link to a new user (which is an input keyboard
driver that I'm refactoring) of this flag in .set_config().
