I don't parse this.

The code deleted does take the flag into account. And the DT property
associated to it seems correct to me (I mean, with proper flag
specification).

Flag was used and you are saying that it's taken into account in new
code... So, what's the issue?

I see a difference in the way the "value" of gpiod_* functions is used.
There may be a misunderstanding here...
