In that case cy_gpio_set() should return an error for GPIOs which are
not configured as outputs. Is that guaranteed by the current
implementation?

Argh, no TODO please. Actual code that will turn this code into a
solid driver that can be merged.

Can all GPIOs be set as input or output? If so, please implement
cy_gpio_direction_*() and make sure that cy_gpio_set() behaves
properly if a GPIO is not an output. If the input/output GPIOs are
fixed, please make cy_gpio_direction_*() return an error if the GPIO
capabilities does not correspond to what is asked, and again ensure
that cy_gpio_set() works as expected.
