Applied, thanks ! I've also updated
http://people.openmoko.org/werner/gta02-core/gta02-core-all.ps.gz

By the way, I've asked the Openmoko admins if it's possible to give
you checkin access to svn.openmoko.org/trunk/gta02-core so that we
don't an intermediary.

I think BiDi is fine - being able to be an input implies that it
can be 3-stated. Exceptions to this rule are generally remembered
as accidents, e.g., the unfortunate AUX LED in old GTA02s :-)

3-state seems to mean that it's an output that can also be set to
High-Z, but that it can never be an input.

I think it would be nice if one could tell KiCad that a pin will
only be used in a restricted way to avoid unnecessary warnings.

Yup, that looks good.

Thanks,
