I assume he's using SYSFS

The GPIO driver (drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c) changed behaviour between
these two versions.  In 3.10.53, it will show either 0 or 1.  In
3.14.28 it will show the exact bit value as Yannick is experiencing.

You could try this patch (untested):

diff --git a/drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c b/drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c

         else

         mutex_unlock(&sysfs_lock);
         return status;
