[PATCH v2] gpio: 74x164: Enable output pins after registers are reset

From: Arturas Moskvinas
Date: Thu Feb 29 2024 - 03:47:08 EST


Chip outputs are enabled[1] before actual reset is performed[2] which might
cause pin output value to flip flop if previous pin value was set to 1 in chip.
Change fixes that behavior by making sure chip is fully reset before all outputs
are enabled.

Flip-flop can be noticed when module is removed and inserted again and one of
the pins was changed to 1 before removal. 100 microsecond flipping is
noticeable on oscilloscope (100khz SPI bus).

For a properly reset chip - output is enabled around 100 microseconds (on 100khz
SPI bus) later during probing process hence should be irrelevant behavioral
change.
