As soon as the GPIO driver part will be enabled in mcp2221_probe(), the first HID reports will be exchanged with the chip because the GPIO driver immediately calls mcp_gpio_get_direction(). HID I/O has to be enabled explicitly during mcp2221_probe() to receive response reports. Otherwise, all four mcp_gpio_get_direction() calls will run into the four second timeout of mcp_send_report(), which will block the driver for about 16s during startup. A very similar patch appeared some time ago in https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210818152743.163929-1-tobias.junghans@xxxxxxxx which obviously got lost somehow.
