I've actually spent two days tracking this. I noticed that a single
test-case in libgpiod v2 fails sometimes (about 1 in 10 runs) and
suspected some race condition but couldn't find any. Turned out it was
triggered by not masking the bits but would only be triggered if the
memory which got passed to the callbacks got written over with some
other values than zeroes.
