Ideally this should be defined correctly in the gpio properties. The 
problem is that does a 0 flag value mean active high or I forgot to 
define it. There's a similar issue in spi-controller.yaml. I *think* the 
problem is better here since this is an active low boolean rather than 
an active high boolean.

Of the users in the kernel tree, only 
arch/arm/boot/dts/ti/omap/am335x-guardian.dts got this right.

So I think we should mark this deprecated and put a note to use GPIO 
flags instead.
