Hi Neil

I really wanted to use gpiod, since as you said, it takes care of
active low/active high. I tried all sorts of combinations. The problem
with this one is that desc->flags is set in gpiod_parse_flags(), which
is only called from gpiod_get_index(), which is limited to gpios in
the root of the devices subtree. I was 'lucky' in that my reset is
active low, so i noticed the problem when my switch failed to probe,
being held in reset, because the ACTIVE_LOW flag in DT is being ignored.

It seems like gpiod is backwards compatible to gpio, but gpio is not
forward compatible to gpiod.
