Yes, but then the flag would look uglier, something like

		devm_gpio_request_one(dev, gpio, flags & 
			OF_GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW ? GPIOF_OUT_INIT_HIGH : 
			GPIOF_OUT_INIT_LOW);

Does it really look like an improvement? :)

No idea, I'm not developing the driver, I'm just porting one specific 
feature from one API to another with no functional changes (apart from 
postponing setting the GPIO).

Thanks
