Subject: [PATCH v2] net: rfkill: gpio: set GPIO direction

Fix the undefined usage of the GPIO consumer API after retrieving the
GPIO description with GPIO_ASIS. The API documentation mentions that
GPIO_ASIS won't set a GPIO direction and requires the user to set a
direction before using the GPIO.

This can be confirmed on i.MX6 hardware, where rfkill-gpio is no longer
able to enabled/disable a device, presumably because the GPIO controller
was never configured for the output direction.

Fixes: b2f750c3a80b ("net: rfkill: gpio: prevent value glitch during probe")

v2:
- remove the if clauses, the gpiod_direction_* functions can handle NULL
  gpio descriptors.
