GPIO descriptors (as are used in this driver) are supposed to hide
and encapsulate polarity inversion so:

gpiod_set_value(gpiod, 1) == assert the line
gpiod_set_value(gpiod, 0) == de-assert the line

Whether the line is asserted by physically driving the line low or
high should not be a concern, that is handled in the machine
description, we support OF, ACPI and even board files to
define this.

I would use gpiod_set_value() directly as above and maybe
add some comments explaining what is going on and that
the resulting polarity inversion is handled inside gpiolib.

Because of common misunderstandings we have pondered to just
search/replace the last argument of gpiod_set_value() from
an (int value) to a (bool asserted) to make things clear.
I just never get around to do that.
