OK let's default to VGA mode for now.

Getting the configured value seemed to work just fine with
gpiod_get_raw_value_cansleep(ddata->mo_gpio). But yeah I agree the
lack and confusion between polarity and desired default value for
a GPIO is is sucky. The ACTIVE_HIGH probably should mean polarity. 

I don't know if there's an easy solution to that short of adding a
new GPIO binding that contains both the polarity and the desired
default value.
