Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for the patch.

After reading this one more time, I think the text is at the very least 
confusing. The logic level of the enable GPIO is the same as the logic level 
of the XSHUTDOWN pin. The latter being active low, asserting "enable" will 
deassert "shutdown", but talking about "desserting XSHUTDOWN" is confusing.
