That's plain wrong, as it will break GPIO input.

With GPIO, you can write either 0 or 1 to a GPIO output port. So, your
code works for output ports.

However, an input port requires an specific value (either 1 or 0 depending
on the GPIO circuitry). If the wrong value is written there, the input port
will stop working.

So, you can't simply read a value from a GPIO input and write it. You need
to shadow the GPIO write values instead.
