[ Upstream commit 3ede3f8b4b4b399b0ca41e44959f80d5cf84fc98 ]
At startup, the driver just assumes that all registers have their default values. But after a soft reset, the chip will just be in the state it was, and some pins may have been configured as outputs. Any modification of the output register will cause these pins to be driven low, which leads to unexpected/unwanted effects. To prevent this from happening, set the chip's IO configuration register to a known safe mode (all inputs) before toggling any other bits.
