The mcp2221 driver GPIO output handling has has several issues.

* A wrong value is used for the GPIO direction.

* Wrong offsets are calculated for some GPIO set value/set direction
operations, when offset is larger than 0.

This has been fixed by introducing proper manifest constants for the
direction encoding, and using 'offsetof' when calculating GPIO
register offsets.

The updated driver has been tested with the Sparx5 pcb134/pcb135
board, which has the mcp2221 device with several (output) GPIO's.

This bug report: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216736
suggests that direction and value may be reversed here.

Mentioning here in case nobody actively monitors the bugzilla.

I can confirm that the order is reversed when compared to both the data sheet
and what I can observe in the hid reports.
The patch from the linked bugzilla bug fixes the issue for me.
