It turns out that I can reproduce the bug with my gpiod tools:

root@firefly:/home/kent/gpiod/cmd/gpiodctl# uname -a
Linux firefly 5.5.0-rc1 #23 SMP Mon Dec 9 16:26:33 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Note that the line 1 direction has flipped for no reason.

With the patched kernel that doesn't happen:

I would prefer to demonstrate this with the libgpiod tools, but they
don't support as-is on gets.  I recall suggesting adding it and you
asking why - who would need it.  This is a concrete example of my
response at the time - so you can exercise the full API for testing.

Cheers,
Kent.
