    Subject[PATCH 16/18 v2] regulator: fixed/gpio: Update device tree bindings
    Date
    Deprecate the open drain binding for fixed regulator and indicate
    that we prefer this to be passed in the GPIO phandle flags.

    Clarify that the line inversion semantics for fixed and GPIO
    regulators completely overrides the active low flags in the
    phandle flags.

    Unfortunately this can not be changed to prefer that we pass
    the flags in the phandle: the bindings have been specified and
    deployed such that the presence/absence of this flag and only
    that controls the line inversion semantics. The crucial semantic
    is that the absence of the flag means the core will assume
    the line is active low, which in GPIO terms is an exception,
    as GPIO lines are normally assumed to be active high.

    This special device tree semantic cannot be changed without
    introducing a whole new compatible string for the fixed and
    GPIO regulators, so we just contain the situation.
