I am neither entirely sure here. My take was that the above was the more
severe error. Because if setting to output fails, the GPIO I2C bus will
be broken. If the former stuff fails, well, the injection didn't work or
was interrupted.

However, the GPIO was set to output before the injector. So, if setting
it back fails, then the system likely has more severe problems anyhow?

I am open to any better solution. However, let's not forget, this is
debug code aimed to be used by devs.
