Hi Stephen
Great to hear its usable for others.

Humm, so are you saying of_get_named_gpio_flags() is deprecated?
There is a lot of code using this to get the flag
OF_GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW. Some of these users are very generic code:
drivers/leds/leds-gpio.c:
drivers/input/misc/rotary_encoder.c:
drivers/input/keyboard/gpio_keys.c:
drivers/input/keyboard/gpio_keys_polled.c:
drivers/hwmon/gpio-fan.c:
The only code using the "enable-active-high"
property is drivers/regulator/fixed.c although the binding
documentation twl6040.txt talks about it, but the code does not
implement it.
Could you point me towards some email discussion about this?
Thanks
Andrew
