as well as PWM polarity are configurable. I had suggested to use the terminology
from Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pwm/pwm.txt. Other than terminology there
is no connection to a standard pwm controller.

Another option/possibility would be to use a boolean, such as pwm-polarity-inverted.
We are open to suggestions.

Sure, no problem. Any suggestion where ?

Thanks,
