FWIW, this makes sense to me too - the active/inactive naming is used in
both the GPIO uAPI and libgpiod v2, so it would be consistent with that,
if nothing else.

Bart, just wondering if gpio-sim should support the aliases as well?
I realise they don't support active-low, so polarity isn't an issue, and
it could even be confusing to support the alias, but just throwing it
out there...

Cheers,
Kent.
