So do we want to:

a) Keep things as is in v2(I am assuming that is not really an option)
b) Improve the optics by introducing GPIOF_INIT_ACTIVE, but keeping
the behavior of hog nodes consistent with Linux kernel
c) Drop this particular chunk of code, not support keep using
gpio_direciton_output(), and print a warning when we encounter a hog
with 'active low' set
d) Drop active low API patch and handle that aspect inside of code of
the driver that needs it
e) Something else

?

Thanks,
Andrey Smirnov
