[PATCH v5 1/2] gpio: i2c-gpio: Drop use of dm_gpio_set_dir()

The dm_gpio_set_dir_flags does a bitwise OR with the new flags. This
means that the i2c driver cannot switch the pin from input to output or
vice versa. check_dir_flags fails here:

check_dir_flags: flags 0x6 has GPIOD_IS_OUT and GPIOD_IS_IN

On my board, removing the logical OR in dm_gpio_set_dir_flags fixes the
issue. The _dm_gpio_set_dir_flags function stores the passed flags
directly into the descriptor. This means that by removing the logical
OR all the existing flags will be lost which is also not what we want.

So the code needs to be able to unset the IN/OUT direction bits. I
don't feel like I'm familiar enough with the GPIO code to do a good
suggestion. Maybe Patrick could help us out here?

Thank you for that.

Once we figure this out we should add a test.
