This is also useful for gpiod_get(). However, while you are at it,
could you also add a flag for the OF_GPIO_OPEN_SOURCE property? My joy
would be complete if you could also take the time to update
of_find_gpio() to pass these new flags back to the caller as it
already does for OF_GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW.

Then you could even switch your use-case to the gpiod interface and
not bother with passing these flags by yourself anymore. Just sayin'.
;)

Thanks,
Alex.
