As a user (board developer) I would expect that DT describes the
GPIO meaning directly: so when I specify GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH flag I also
wire up the board so that outputing 1 would match the active state of
the chip's signal (that might be inverted for some reason). I think we
should stick to what is said in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio.txt
(section 1.1).
Since this is a new driver in kernel I would prefer to fix it at the start.
Changing the name of the GPIO would also be ok, but since there is no DT
binding yet, I guess there will come up an issue of 'compatible' string
format that does not match 'vendor,chip' now, so we can use the difference
for backwards compatibility with out-of-tree driver if needed.
