gpio inverters can be used on different hardware to alter the polarity of gpio chips.
The polarity of pins can change from hardware to hardware with the use of inverters.
This device tree binding models gpio inverters in the device tree to properly describe the hardware.

Please let me know if this is enough and needs to be updated in the documentation patch.


I am sorry I did not include device tree list in the original discussion ( i.e first version of the patch
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-gpio/msg39681.html).


Thanks.


Best Regards,
