Hi David,

Would you please comment on this?

Why did you drop this check? It has nothing with w1-gpio driver
This check prevents master from implementing "set_pullup" provided it does support only "write_bit" method.
The comment above states that
w1_io.c would need to support calling set_pullup before - * the last write_bit operation of a w1_write_8 which it currently - * doesn't.
which is kind of strange, since it describes what w1_io.c actually does support.

w1_write_8 (w1_io.c:154, https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/w1/w1_io.c#L154):
for (i = 0; i < 8; ++i) {
if (i == 7)
w1_pre_write(dev);
w1_touch_bit(dev, (byte >> i) & 0x1);
}
It seems like w1_write_8() calls w1_pre_write(), which in turn calls set_pullup() just before the last write_bit().

I'm not sure why this check was there in the first place.
Please add author of those lines to clarify things.
This doesn't look obvious to me
