[Marek Vasut]

Reword the binding document to make it clear how the propeties work
and which properties affect which other properties.

 Optional properties:

+			  compatibility with old DTs.
+- enable-active-high	: Polarity of "enable-gpio" GPIO is active HIGH.
+			  Default is active LOW.
+- gpios-states		: On operating systems, that don't support reading back
+			  gpio values in output mode (most notably linux), this
+			  array provides the state of GPIO pins set when
+			  requesting them from the gpio controller. Systems,
+			  that are capable of preserving state when requesting
+			  the lines, are free to ignore this property.
+			  0: LOW, 1: HIGH. Default is LOW if nothing else

 - startup-delay-us	: Startup time in microseconds.
-- enable-active-high	: Polarity of GPIO is active high (default is low).
 - regulator-type	: Specifies what is being regulated, must be either
 			  "voltage" or "current", defaults to voltage.
