Thanks for reporting.

John Stultz reported the same problem I'm trying to debug it.

This is a bit odd actually, the GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW flag will
be ignored as you see:

Because regulators don't specify active high/low in the second
cell because of legacy bindings.

So this should not be in the device tree anyway, it should be
GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH or just 0.

Indeed. I will look closer so it's the right fix and provide a patch.

Yeah it's what I'm trying to get rid of with these patches,
this is just the first patch in a series that move inversion over
to the GPIO library.
