We probably should specify default values in in the common binding description.
Then duplication could be avoided. Not sure if it's not too late for this, all
drivers would need to have same default values.

What's normal and what's inverted depends on a particular device.

Yes, it would be better to avoid redefining these properties in each specific 
device's binding. Presumably, for easier matching of DT properties with the
hardware's description, we could only say in device specific document which
value of a property corresponds to "normal" and which to "inverted" operation ?
