OK then you can set it in accordance to what clients request.

As per <linux/gpio/machine.h> you can specify per-line if it should be
open drain using GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN, this will push through to the
gpio descriptor and those lines with this flag set will be handled specially.
We have merged device tree bindings for OD/OS but not code to
handle these, but I might have some code from Laurent Pinchart cooking
for the DT in-kernel backend too.

git grep OPEN_DRAIN
