It used to block this at one point. But it doesn't make sense
when the hardware looks like so:

>>                                                      +- SPI
>>                  Physical pins --- GPIO --- pinctrl -+- I2C
>>                                                      +- mmc

As in this case it is perfectly legal to enable the GPIO as
input while the I2C bus is running and "spy" on the signals.

The driver should probably not allow the GPIO output to be
driven while some peripheral is muxed in though, that could be
disastrous...

Yours,
Linus Walleij
