This patch adds driver support for the zynqmp modepin GPIO controller.
GPIO modepin driver set and get the value and status of the PS_MODE pin,
based on device-tree pin configuration. These four mode pins are
configurable as input/output. The mode pin has a control register, which
have lower four-bits [0:3] are configurable as input/output, next four-bits
can be used for reading the data  as input[4:7], and next setting the
output pin state output[8:11].

You say the gpio controller can configure pins as inputs or outputs.
Yet, .direction_input is doing nothing. So it's not clear to me,
how this sequence could work:

 - set gpio output high (writes bootmode)
 - set gpio to input (no-op, pin will remain high, not high impedance)

I didn't check the previous discussions, but if this indeed works as intended,
the how should be written here into the driver. That is a more useful comment
than kernel doc for a stub function.
