But on the pxa27x there are usually *two* meanings for any one of the 3 alt
functions, depending on the direction.  As a random example... gpio28 alt fn
0b01 is AC97_BITCLK if the direction is input, but is I2S_BITCLK if the
direction is output (from PXA27x Developer's Manual, Table 24-2).

But I am thinking on pxa27x there is... see my example above.  Perhaps this is
not true for the later Marvell arches and you are missing this point?  Or else I
am stating the obvious to you and I am missing your point.  In either case,
thanks for your patience.

Thanks,
Mike
