Description
**Describe the bug**
Every time a new instance of Mcp23017() is being created the pins are being reset to low. This is an issue when the written software reboots, eg when updating the software version.
**Steps to reproduce**
```csharp
var pinNumber = 0;
var i2cConnectionSettings = new I2cConnectionSettings(1, 0x20);
var i2cDevice = I2cDevice.Create(i2cConnectionSettings);
var device = new Mcp23017(i2cDevice);
var controller = new GpioController(PinNumberingScheme.Logical, Mcp23017Device);
controller.Write(pinNumber, PinValue.High);
var device2 = new Mcp23017(i2cDevice);
var pinValue = controller.Read(pinNumber);
```
**Expected behavior**
Pins need to keep their value after re-initializing the Mcp23017() adapter.
**Actual behavior**
Pins are being reset every time a new instance of Mcp23017() is being declared. Looks like it is embedded in the init code here:
