    gpio: remove gpiod_sysfs_set_active_low · 166a85e4

    Remove gpiod_sysfs_set_active_low (and gpio_sysfs_set_active_low) which
    allowed code to change the polarity of a gpio line even after it had
    been exported through sysfs.
    
    Drivers should not care, and generally does not know, about gpio-line
    polarity which is a hardware feature that needs to be described by
    firmware.
    
    It is currently possible to define gpio-line polarity in device-tree and
    acpi firmware or using platform data. Userspace can also change the
    polarity through sysfs.
    
    Note that drivers using the legacy gpio interface could still use
    GPIOF_ACTIVE_LOW to change the polarity before exporting the gpio.
    
    There are no in-kernel users of this interface.
