Do you really mean to free the GPIO here?

While gpio_free() does not do this at present, it seems perfectly
reasonable for someone to modify gpio_free() so that instead of leaving
the HW in some random state when free, it actively reprograms the pin to
be an input instead, since that's the most conflict-free setting when
the pin is actively unused.
