Looking at the code, use/non-use of enable-active-high inhibits
flags specified in gpio property. So the GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH flag
is ignored here (had GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW been used, the kernel would
ignore it too and print a warning).

So enable-active-high is still necessary here.

See comment in gpiolib-of.c where this is handled:

/*
 * The regulator GPIO handles are specified such that the
 * presence or absence of "enable-active-high" solely controls
 * the polarity of the GPIO line. Any phandle flags must
 * be actively ignored.
 */
