But wouldn't it be not good if we changed direction, for example, and then
change it back? (IRQ requires input, which is safer, right?)

This makes me think what gpiod_to_irq() may do for physical state of the pin.
On the brief search it seems there is no side effect on the pin with that
function, so, perhaps the original order has that in mind to not shuffle with
line if mapping can't be established. But if setting flags fail, we may got
into the state which is not equal to the initial one, right?

So, in either case I see no good way to roll back the physical pin state
changes. But I can return ordering of the calls in next version.

What do you think?
