Yeah, I know... but read in mfp-pxa2xx.h, lines 6-20:
/*
 * the following MFP_xxx bit definitions in mfp.h are re-used for pxa2xx:
 *
 *  MFP_PIN(x)
 *  MFP_AFx
 *  MFP_LPM_DRIVE_{LOW, HIGH}
 *  MFP_LPM_EDGE_x
 *
 * other MFP_x bit definitions will be ignored
 *
 * and adds the below two bits specifically for pxa2xx:
 *
 * bit     23 - Input/Output (PXA2xx specific)
 * bit     24 - Wakeup Enable(PXA2xx specific)
 */

This means, that there is no difference between: MFP_CFG_IN and MFP_CFG_OUT for PXA2xx.
The reason for this is that PXA2xx h/w does not have a dedicated MFP registers.
All goes through the GPIO controller, so the whole MFP for PXA2xx is only to conform
to newer "PXA" platform features...
