here you say you're setting that bit.

but code is clearing it. Also, you're not patching byt_gpio_get(), so
you can't be 'reading its value' either. Quite frankly, this looks very
fishy to me. Comments on BYT_OUTPUT_EN and BYT_INPUT_EN states that
those bits are active low, meaning that clearing them enables that
particular feature.

How can you enable a pin to be both OUTPUT and INPUT ? Look like what
you really want is:

diff --git a/drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-baytrail.c b/drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-baytrail.c
index e12e5b0..69f882d 100644

completely untested however. Care to further explain why clearing both
bits - thus enabling both INPUT and OUTPUT - is correct ?
