but, it doesn't return actual value of the pin if twl4030 GPIO pin is output.

For example, the GPIO13 pin of twl4030 is configured as an output
using gpio_direction_output() and assigns the GPIO's value to 1
using gpio_set_value_cansleep(), the result of "# cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio"
reports to me as follows.

GPIOs 192-209, platform/twl4030_gpio, twl4030, can sleep:
 gpio-205 (keyled              ) out lo

but it should have reported "hi" instead of "lo".
