Historically the panel driver did know the polarity and
the device tree introduced by
commit c2e138bc8ed8 ("ARM: dts: omap3-gta04: Add display support")
as
cs-gpios = <&gpio1 19 0>;
The 0 was ignored because the spi-gpio driver did only
look at the presence of an spi-cs-high property. Since
it was not present, the CS was active low.
commit 3a637e008e54 ("ARM: dts: Use defined GPIO constants in flags cell for OMAP2+ boards")
replaced the constant 0 by the constant GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH
which was no problem because it was still ignored.
Starting with
commit 6953c57ab172 ("gpio: of: Handle SPI chipselect legacy bindings")
the gpiolib and spi-gpio drivers tried to handle both properties
by making an inversion for GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH definitions.
To keep the device tree compatible with older kernels which
ignored the GPIO_ACTIVE property we just added spi-cs-high;.
This tells the inversion logic that we want an active low
chip select as defined by the rule documented by the commit
message of
commit 6953c57ab172 ("gpio: of: Handle SPI chipselect legacy bindings")
"If the line is tagged as active high in the device tree with
the second cell flag and has no "spi-cs-high" property we
enforce active low semantics (as this is the exception we can
just tag on the flag)."
This went well until
commit 766c6b63aa04 ("spi: fix client driver breakages when using GPIO descriptors")
arrived which effectively removes the inversion logic rule.
Removing spi-cs-high; in a separate patch already solves the
urgent problem, but to remove
[ 3.629791] td028ttec1@0 enforce active low on chipselect handle
and to be safe against future changes of such rules we also define
the cs-gpio explicitly as GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW.
Note that this patch breaks all kernels between
commit 6953c57ab172 ("gpio: of: Handle SPI chipselect legacy bindings")
and
commit 766c6b63aa04 ("spi: fix client driver breakages when using GPIO descriptors")
