So what do you suggest? Leave original behavior?
I'd like to remove pull-related actions at all considering:
 - power consumption
 - we are both not able to find any sense in that code
 - s3c2410_gpio_pullup looks like deprecated
 - can't imagine situation where this change will break functionality
(of course when this code used to drive actually LED and not something else)
