We might have conflicts with this unfortunately.

It turns out that we fixed an issue where the pinctrl driver in 4.10
is now honoring the case where we list our pull-ups as disabled, while
it used to be ignored (which was the bug).

However, some boards were listing improperly in their DT that their
pull-ups were disabled, while they actually needed it, which means
that now the driver will disable them, and things get broken (mostly
MMC for now, but I expect other devices to be broken too).

We have two ways of fixing this.

Option 1 is applying a patch that will enable the pull ups on the MMC
devices (because it's ok to do so) that was queued with 4.11 and will
conflict heavily with this PR.

The other option would be to queue the two first patches of that PR as
fixes that will reintroduce the previous behaviour (or at least, the
one the boards expects). I'm guessing in that case, the merge will
just work (since it's the exact same commits anyway), and we fix all
the devices and not just MMC. This has not been confirmed to work at
the moment though, but should be very soon.

What do you think?
Maxime
