The gpio include file and the gpio documentation declare and document
GPIOF_ACTIVE_LOW as one of the flags to be passed to gpio_request_one

Check the flag in gpio_request_one and set the gpio internal flag
FLAG_ACTIVE_LOW if it is set.

What is the point since the integer GPIO API has no clue of the
active-low status of a GPIO? It is only used by the gpiod and sysfs
interfaces.


One can use gpio_request_one() to export a gpio pin to user space from
the kernel. That code path does use the flag, as you point out yourself above.

One could also argue that the integer gpio API _should_ support this as well,
but that is a different question.
