(should we support both?) On the marvell10g series we are discussing of using tristate or not. We notice tristate might be confusing, would it be better to use inactive-high-impedance ? > I do worry this continues to evolve until we've re-created the pinctrl > binding... >

Is it that a value is > deprecated, not the property as a whole? Yeah, it means that only the boolean form of this property should be used going forward. The comment suggests that the value had no meaning in the first place, and that testing for presence alone has been sufficient all along.

From what I can see only output-low would be useful to us. I didn't find a way to handle the inactive mode. Should I send the new series so we can continue the discussion there or better to wait for Rob feedback?

Document new LEDs polarity property to define what mode the LED needs to be put to turn it on. Currently supported modes are: - active-low - active-high - active-low-tristate - active-high-tristate Mode is optional and if it's not defined, a default value is chosed by the driver.
