Subject: [RFC] gpio: add set_active_low() function to gpio_chip

Some gpio controllers are capable of programming its pins' active-low
state. Let's add this new gpio_chip function for such cases and use it
in gpiolib.

When set_active_low() is implemented, we no longer need to do soft flips
on values from non-raw get functions.

Hi,

This is a RFC, not meant for integration (yet).

We have a GPIO controller that is capable of inverting the GPIO logical value
on hardware using a register (and GPIO voltage level if configured for output):
- If GPIO pin is configured for input, only the logical value is affected: the
  GPIO level stays the same but the read values are inverted (it affects even
  interrupt event triggers).
- If GPIO pin is configured for output, the GPIO level is also inverted.

Is it acceptable to expose this functionality via new gpio chip operation
set_active_low()?

Comments are welcome.

Br, David
