Why "must"?  The goal is to return the *actual* value of the pin,
not the intended one.  When an external signal overwhelms the drive
capability of that GPIO -- just a couple mA -- the correct value
to return can't be the value written in the output register.

Plus, this patch won't even link ... you changed the name of the
function at its definition, but not at its use points.

NAK, unless you can show there's a real bug this addresses...
