To be more clear, the polarity bit specifies GPIO state at the GPIO controller (SoC) that corresponds to active STANDBY or RESET signal state at the sensor. So it is supposed to cover any inverter in between the sensor and an SoC. > That's a good point. The GPIO flags are be used to specify active state > of the GPIO.
