Correct - the gpiod APIs remove the need for drivers to know the
polarity of the signal, handling it inside the GPIO subsystem
instead, controlled either from the gpiod lookup tables in legacy
board files, or the DT specification for the GPIO.
So, in drivers, gpiod_set_value*(, 1) means "set gpio to active
level" and gpiod_set_value*(, 0) means "set gpio to inactive level".
Far nicer than all the bugs we've had with the legacy GPIO interfaces
with random different drivers implementing random different ways to
invert the signal, with all the pain that brings with it when a
platform comes along with a different inversion state.
