I assume you are referring to the SION bit.

This has come up in the past and the consensus was to set the SION bit
when reading the output of a GPIO is needed.

Please see commit:

    mxc: Make gpio_get_value() use PSR

    gpio_get_value() should use PSR like Linux, not DR, because DR
does not always
    reflect the pin state, while PSR does. This is especially useful to detect a
    short circuit on a GPIO pin configured as output, or to read the
level of a pin
    controlled by a non-GPIO IOMUX function.
