Hi Lothar.

You'll need to double check your email setup. The patch got emailed
separately from the description.

I don't know if this is a valid thing to do or not. Not every GPIO
controller supports reading back the initial state from the direction
register. I suspect it is better to leave initialization of the
direction to the gpio controller driver itself.
