What is "the device tree implementation"? If devm_gpiod_get_index gets
the information which gpio to use from a device tree that doesn't change
the return type, you still get a struct gpio_desc pointer. And it can
very well return a descriptor with GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW set, see the
implementation of of_find_gpio.

And if the descriptor has GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW set, you should better not
ignore it. The best thing to do here AFAIUI is to first convert the
driver to gpiod and then add your ACPI support in an additional patch.

And then please (this was the main motivation for my reply) your the
4-parameter version of devm_gpiod_get_index.

Best regards
Uwe
