Although gpiod_get_direction() can be considered side-effect free for
consumers, its internals involve setting or clearing bits in the
affected GPIO descriptor, for which we need to force-cast the const
descriptor parameter. This could lead to incorrect behavior is the
compiler decide to optimize here, so remove this const parameter. The
intent is to make gpiod_get_direction() private anyway, so it does not
really matter.
