Possibly, I saw that in the documentation directory, but didn't quite 
follow the explanation that
was given.  Below is what I was using as  a reference, but is it as 
simple as that?  Do the flags encode
just the state or also, the open drain, hi-z and everything else?  In my 
case, I want the GPIO 3 actively
driven high.


Example of the node using GPIOs:
20	
21		node {
22			gpios = <&qe_pio_e 18 0>;
23		};
24	
25	In this example gpio-specifier is "18 0" and encodes GPIO pin number,
26	and empty GPIO flags as accepted by the "qe_pio_e" gpio-controller.
