This would mean you'd have to rely on an external pull up for your use
case. I wouldn't be surprised however if DSE=0 wouldn't count as "output
mode". Given the reliability of NXP documentation I wouldn't bet neither
on one nor the other possibility.

Which pin/gpio do we talk about? Which i.MX6 variant did you test this
on? (Assuming i.MX6D or i.MX6Q and PAD_DISP0_DATA09, did you try setting

IOMUXC_SW_MUX_CTL_PAD_DISP0_DATA09 (0x020E0194) = 0x00000005
IOMUXC_SW_PAD_CTL_PAD_DISP0_DATA09 (0x020E04A8) = 0x0000b080

and then play with GPIO 4.30 direction and output value?)

Best regards
Uwe
