Actually I really meant what I sent, but perhaps I misspoke during
explanation. We need to clear the bit to enable the functionality.

!BYT_INPUT_EN allows us to read the value. !BYT_OUTPUT_EN allows us to
set a value. If we want to set a value (acting as output) and still be
able to read via sysfs, we need to set both functionality (i.e. clear
both bits).

I'll resend the patch with a better comment.

Br, David
