Not sure!
If you think about power management, GPIO_DISABLE makes sense. As if the 
last pin of a port has been set to this value, the bank could disable 
its clocks and safe power.

2nd there are some setups that can either be substituted across 
different chip or they can be ignored.

So if a chip doesn't know about _DISABLED just ignore the value or at 
least switch the pin to input or as open-drain and logic 1.

If a chip doesnt support _PUSHPULL, set it to _PULLUP

For the beginner it will work, for the advanced user it is fine too as 
he never addresses these tokens. He read the manual and uses the 
advanced ones.
