Couldn't the meaning be inverted, so setting the control to 0 disables
the loop filtering?

From register point of view, this control value needs be 0 to enable
loop filtering.

OK, this is true for our specific hardware/firmware implementation.

In general, for this user space interface I would rather define that
boolean control so value 1 enables LF and value 0 disables LF.
The driver could simply negate the value when writing registers.

BTW we might need to specify type of the control here as Hans suggested
commenting on other control.
