Actually when looking closer at it I was wrong.

From <linux/gpio/consumer.h>:

enum gpiod_flags {
    GPIOD_ASIS    = 0,
    GPIOD_IN    = GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_DIR_SET,
    GPIOD_OUT_LOW    = GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_DIR_SET | GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_DIR_OUT,
    GPIOD_OUT_HIGH    = GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_DIR_SET | GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_DIR_OUT |
              GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_DIR_VAL,
    GPIOD_OUT_LOW_OPEN_DRAIN = GPIOD_OUT_LOW | GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_OPEN_DRAIN,
    GPIOD_OUT_HIGH_OPEN_DRAIN = GPIOD_OUT_HIGH | GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_OPEN_DRAIN,
};

So GPIOD_ASIS does not set GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_DIR_SET.

Then gpiod_configure_flags() has:

    /* No particular flag request, return here... */
    if (!(dflags & GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_DIR_SET)) {
        gpiod_dbg(desc, "no flags found for GPIO %s\n", name);
        return 0;
    }

    /* Process flags */
    if (dflags & GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_DIR_OUT)
        ret = gpiod_direction_output_nonotify(desc,
                !!(dflags & GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_DIR_VAL));
    else
        ret = gpiod_direction_input_nonotify(desc);

So the function bails out right above (you could check the debug
print there if in doubt.)

So the behaviour is correct.

So now I have no idea what is going on again :/

But I would suggest trying to set GPIOD_OUT_LOW when requesting
the line and just check if that solves Steev:s problem
(trial-and-error).
