I have applied the patch adding a few elaborations in the binding that
the situation where you may use this is typically when enabling/disabling
input or output buffers irrespective of the mode of the line as a whole.

We might need even more documentation because this is really
confusing.

But for now it lets drivers work, which is nice.

Rough consensus and running code should be our guide.
