I apologize. This is not a regression, it has always been broken for the
TunnelCreek (which was added later). With only 8 bits for the resume well,
trying to read the 9th GPIO line always fails. I suspect it was just never
tested or needed until a board came along using it. As adding support
for new
systems is acceptable for stable, I felt this landed in that bucket, as
well as
the "obvious bug fix" bucket.

Would you like me to resubmit with a more verbose commit message? Happy
to do so.

That might make sense. I'm doing a lot of TunnelCreek driver fixes for
the MinnowBoard. If that would be helpful, I'm willing.

Thanks,
