[PATCH v2] platform/x86: silicom: remove unnecessary GPIO line direction check

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

As of commit 92ac7de3175e3 ("gpiolib: don't allow setting values on input
lines"), the GPIO core makes sure values cannot be set on input lines.
Remove the unnecessary check.

Thank you for your contribution, it has been applied to my local
review-ilpo-next branch. Note it will show up in the public
platform-drivers-x86/review-ilpo-next branch only once I've pushed my
local branch there, which might take a while.
