Arve will certainly step in if I'm wrong here, but I believe the issue
is that the dream CPLD GPIOs (which is what we're talking about, not
the MSM7K's onboard GPIOs which are more flexible) have no way to read
the set output state back.  So, you can't read-modify-write to change
just one of the 8 bits in a given bank.  The default mask values in
the android msm tree's trout gpio board files are based on what he
shipping HTC bootloader initializes things to.
