I have just tested that on i.MX51 and i.MX35, and I confirm that GPIO.PSR does
not report the correct pin level in GPIO output mode if SION is not set. The
i.MX25 is also very close to the i.MX35 in terms of IPs, so it would probably
also give the same results. So SION seems to be required in that case on all
i.MXes, even if not all RMs mention this in the GPIO chapter.
