Yeah, that's what I had on mind.  However, I'd be more lucky if it didn't work
for you.  Setting the pins sequentially, not simultaneously as before, was
exactly what I hoped was the reason of the hang.

The only difference from the behaviour when the hang was occurring is now
the order the pins are manipulated.  Maybe that matters?
Could you please retry the same with the order of pins reversed, either in
the .dts file or here inside this for loop?

Thanks,
Janusz
