-Pin configuration can be programmed either using the explicit APIs described

-For example, a platform may do the following to pull up a pin to VDD:
-
-#include <linux/pinctrl/consumer.h>
-
-ret = pin_config_set("foo-dev", "FOO_GPIO_PIN", PLATFORM_X_PULL_UP);
+Pin configuration can be programmed by adding configuration entries into the

 The format and meaning of the configuration parameter, PLATFORM_X_PULL_UP
 above, is entirely defined by the pin controller driver.
