Ok.  Just looked at the v2 patch.

This looks good.  When configured as an input the pin needs to be set high-impedance,
00 which is PCA9532_OFF).

Not good.  When the pin is configured as an output, the direction_output method also
requests that the pin be set to a desired level.  For this driver that means that the
pca9532_gpio_direction_output function just needs to call pca9532_gpio_set_value.
