mpfs_gpio_direction_output() actually sets the line to input mode.
Use the correct register settings for output mode so that this function
actually works as intended.

This was a copy-paste mistake made when converting to regmap during the
driver submission process. It went unnoticed because my test for output
mode is toggling LEDs on an Icicle kit which functions with the
incorrect code. The internal reporter has yet to test the patch, but on
their system the incorrect setting may be the reason for failures to
drive the GPIO lines on the BeagleV-fire board.

I'm about to send my last PR with fixes for v6.17 and this hasn't been
in next even for a day so let me queue this for v6.18 and it will get
backported once it's upstream next week.

[1/1] gpio: mpfs: fix setting gpio direction to output
      https://git.kernel.org/brgl/linux/c/bc061143637532c08d9fc657eec93fdc2588068e

Ye, that's not a problem. It's an "always been broken" thing, so no real
rush. Thanks!
