The GPIO being interpreted as active-low is a thing specific to
the chip used though. Where as in the future the HPD pin type
in the INT3472 device might be used with other chips...

Anyways either way is fine with me bu, as mentioned, using GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW
will invert the values returned by gpiod_get_value(), for which the driver
likely needs to be adjusted.
