Ah, thanks for the info.  I did not know that we ran into the issue
on gpio-mxc and had it fixed there.  But instead of asking every
single platform gpio driver to do the fixup, we should really fix it
in generic driver.  Imaging if you fixed the issue in gpio-generic
when you ran into the problem on MXC/IMX, I wouldn't have spent half
day to track the issue down on MXS :)

So back to the right fixing, does the following one look good to you?

@@ -394,6 +394,10 @@ int bgpio_init(struct bgpio_chip *bgc, struct device *dev,
                return ret;

        bgc->data = bgc->read_reg(bgc->reg_dat);
+       if (bgc->gc.set == bgpio_set_set)
+               bgc->data = bgc->read_reg(bgc->reg_set);
+       if (bgc->reg_dir)
+               bgc->dir = bgc->read_reg(bgc->reg_dir);

        return ret;
 }
