Subject: [PATCH] serial: max310x: implement gpio_chip::get_direction()

It's strongly recommended for GPIO drivers to always implement the
.get_direction() callback - even when the direction is tracked in
software. The GPIO core emits a warning when the callback is missing
and a user reads the direction of a line, e.g. via
/sys/kernel/debug/gpio.

The MAX310X keeps the GPIO direction in the GPIOCFG register (a set bit
selects output), which the existing direction_input/output callbacks
already program, so the current direction can be read back directly.
