This causes a runtime regression on Jetson TX1. The symptoms are that
HDMI monitors are no longer reliably detected as plugged in. The reason
is because the GPIO polarity for the HDMI +5V regulator is now reversed
and therefore the HPD signal, which is usually fed by the +5V signal,
does not reflect the correct value.

Now it's somewhat confusing to me why this wasn't broken before. We have
this in device tree:

		vdd_hdmi: regulator@10 {
			compatible = "regulator-fixed";
			reg = <10>;
			regulator-name = "VDD_HDMI_5V0";
			regulator-min-microvolt = <5000000>;
			regulator-max-microvolt = <5000000>;
			gpio = <&exp1 12 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
			enable-active-high;
			vin-supply = <&vdd_5v0_sys>;
		};

This is from arch/arm64/boot/dts/nvidia/tegra210-p2597.dtsi. The above
is obviously wrong because it specifies GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW and I do see the
warning from the GPIO library about how this is being ignored. However,
the above works fine on today's linux-next with this commit reverted
because the quirks will cause the GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW flag to be ignored.

However, with this commit applied, the quirk will be skipped for the
regulator and cause the GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW flag to be used to invert the
GPIO during enable and disable operations.

Now, this is clearly a bug in the DT and I'm going to send out a patch
to fix that up, but I think we need to revert this patch for now because
there may be other cases out there that are broken. The whole point of
these quirks is also to make sure that existing device trees continue to
work.

Also, checking for only the enable-gpio property is wrong in this case.
enable-gpio is only specified for regulator-gpio. The standard GPIO for
regulator-fixed is "gpio", so the quirks must be applied to that
property in order to ensure backwards-compatibility.

I think this would need to be something like the below to reflect what
you were trying to achieve, while keeping backwards compatibility:

 	 */
 	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_REGULATOR) &&
-	    !strcmp(propname, "enable-gpio") &&
 	    (of_device_is_compatible(np, "regulator-fixed") ||
 	     of_device_is_compatible(np, "reg-fixed-voltage") ||
-	     of_device_is_compatible(np, "regulator-gpio"))) {
+	     (of_device_is_compatible(np, "regulator-gpio") &&

 		/*
 		 * The regulator GPIO handles are specified such that the
 		 * presence or absence of "enable-active-high" solely controls
--- >8 ---

That applied on top of today's linux-next fixes the regression for me
without a need to modify the device tree. Feel free to integrate that
into your patch.
