Should the gpio driver fix its bindings then?.. Polarity is a quite
generic concept of a GPIO, and flags are there for a reason. I'd rather
prefer having

There is no "GPIO driver" to fix; each GPIO driver has its own bindings,
and unfortunately, some of the GPIO binding authors chose not to include
any flags cell in the GPIO specifier (e.g. Samsung ARM SoCs IIRC, but
there are probably more).

So can I read this something like we have been too liberal with the
GPIO DT bindings and they are now a bit messy and need to be shaped
up? I don't know how to achieve that :-(

Alerting Grant to see if he has something to add on this subject...
