Yeah, after reading through the GPIO subsystem documentation and
discussing with a bunch of people on how to interpret it, we concluded
that the driver needs to deal only with the logical state of the
signal.

Actually, I later realized that the problem of leakage should likely
be solved by pinctrl suspend settings, based on given hardware
conditions, rather than the driver explicitly.

Best regards,
