You mean the semantics of gpio_set_value() gpiod_set_value() are
different? Looking at your patch it looks like gpio_set_value() asserts
a physical line state (high or low) while gpiod_set_value() would
actually try to assert a logical state (enabled or disabled) with the
meaning of those being possibly inverted thanks to the DT polarities.
Am I getting this right?

Yep, missed that indeed.

If my above understanding is right, then, yeah, the current
patches need to be fixed.
