I see... As the only use case I had has the pin tied to vcc, I
thought about making it a binary property, and I wonder in how many
cases the chip 'MAP' pin would actually be GPIO controlled input and
not an hardwired one instead. I don't see the LVDS mapping mode to be
changed at runtime, but you are right, who knows....

Do you think we can add an options 'thine,map-gpios' property along
to the proposed ones?

thanks
