Ah ok. The picture is getting clearer.

Does it make sense then not to use a boolean property in that case?
With a boolean property we are only able to change the polarity bits
into one direction (0 -> 1 or 1 -> 0) but we have different reset
values for each bit.

This part of my patch may then break the mentioned legacy platforms
because it even overwrites the register in case the property is not
set:


+	if (p->wait_pin_active_low)
+		config1 &= ~GPMC_CONFIG_WAITPINPOLARITY(p->wait_pin);
+	else
+		config1 |= GPMC_CONFIG_WAITPINPOLARITY(p->wait_pin);
+
+	gpmc_write_reg(GPMC_CONFIG, config1);


So in order to preserve compatibility as well as the possibility to
change the polarity bits into the desired value I would propose to use
an uint32 value for the desired value and in case the dt-property is
not set we should not touch the register at all.
