In legacy pxa builds, ie. non device-tree and platform-data only builds, pinctrl is not yet available. As a consequence, the pinctrl gpio direction change function is a stub, returning always success. In the current state, the gpio driver direction function believes the pinctrl direction change was successful, and exits without actually changing the gpio direction. This patch changes the logic : - if the pinctrl direction function fails, gpio direction will report that failure - if the pinctrl direction function succeeds, gpio direction is changed by the gpio driver anyway. This is sub optimal in the pinctrl aware case, as the gpio direction will be changed twice: once by pinctrl function and another time by the gpio direction function. Yet it should be acceptable in this form, as this is functional for all pxa platforms (device-tree and platform-data), and moreover changing a gpio direction is very very seldom, usually in machine initialization, seldom in drivers probe, and an exception for ac97 reset bug.
