As evidenced by the Qualcomm TLMM Linux driver, the TLMM IP block in Qualcomm SoCs has a bit to enable/disable the output for a pin that's configured as a GPIO but _not_ a bit to enable/disable an input buffer. Current device trees that are specifying "input-enable" for pins managed by TLMM are either doing so needlessly or are using it to mean "output-disable". Presumably the current convention of using "input-enable" to mean "output-disable" stems from the fact that "output-disable" is a "new" property from 2017. It was introduced in commit425562429d("pinctrl: generic: Add output-enable property"). The "input-enable" handling in Qualcomm drivers is from 2015 introduced in commit407f5e392f("pinctrl: qcom: handle input-enable pinconf property"). Given that there's no other use for "input-enable" for TLMM, we can still handle old device trees in code, but let's encourage people to move to the proper / documented property by updating the bindings.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
