If the chip indicates its "Connection Orientation" standard output control
in STANDARD_OUTPUT_CAPABILITIES register, it can do the thing by
programming CONFIG_STANDARD_OUTPUT register. Due to the optional feature,
the chip which not present this capability currently doesn't have a way to
correctly set the data path. This add the support to set orientation via
a simple GPIO.

Changes in v4:
 - simplify gpiod_set_value_cansleep()
Changes in v3:
 - use "err = !!orient_gpio"
Changes in v2:
 - return early in tcpci_set_orientation() if using gpio method
