when requesting a GPIO for the first time, the POLAR setting is not
set to a sane state. this can lead to indeterminate behavior that
cannot be resolved without an explicit write to the Blackfin port POLAR
register.
when requesting a GPIO for the first time via gpio_request(), the POLAR
setting for the GPIO in question should be set to sane state. this
should occur if the GPIO has not been allocated in any other way.
some examples:
- when doing something like "request_irq(); gpio_request();" on the
same GPIO, the POLAR setting should not be reset.
- when doing "gpio_request(); gpio_request();" on the same GPIO, the
POLAR setting should be reset only the first time and not the second.
