[PATCH v3] backlight: gpio_backlight: Drop output gpio direction check for initial power state

If gpio pin is in input state but backlight is currently off due to
default pull downs, then initial power state is set to FB_BLANK_UNBLANK
in DT boot mode with phandle link and the backlight is effectively
turned on in gpio_backlight_probe(), which is undesirable according to
patch description of commit ec665b756e6f ("backlight: gpio-backlight:
Correct initial power state handling").

Quote:
---
If in DT boot we have phandle link then leave the GPIO in a state which the
bootloader left it and let the user of the backlight to configure it further.
---

So, let's drop output gpio direction check and only check gpio value to set
the initial power state.

v2->v3:
* Add Fixes tag. (Daniel)

v1->v2:
* Improve patch description. (Daniel, Bartosz, Andy)
