This description doesn't really make sense to me - if a GPIO is used to
drive the pin low or high, why do we need a property? A DT property
implies that this is a static configuration depending on the board, but
reading the description this seems to be something that can be toggled
at runtime.
I do note though, that this GPIO is not documented in the binding, so I
suppose what really needs to happen here is document the gpio so that
the driver can determine at runtime what state this pin is in?

Also, you say "In default mode", but don't mention what the non-default
mode is. What happens in the other mode?

Cheers,
Conor.
