I'm really having a hard time understanding what this change improves.

Previously we weren't changing the pin mode at all, we were only
updating the bitfield that contains OPCLK.  With your change we will
also change the pin mode to input, but if the pin is doing any form of
output (or anything other than input mode) I'd expect this to at least
glitch things which seems actively harmful.  Why is it being set up as
an input?  Though I have to say that all this handling of the pin in the
existing driver looks at best odd.

Your changelog describes what you're doing but not what is being
fixed...
