By providing a means for the user to specify the polarity for their
board. Of course the documentation would need to be updated as well. I
think all solutions will be ugly if we need to preserve compatibility.

Fine with me and of course that works for Tegra, but how does that
ultimately help you? How do you tell the driver to use active-high
instead of the default which is not active-low?
