Thanks for the hint,

Yes I am going to changes this to GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW in the next version.
These dts changes just assist in power through PHY to USB ports.
After going through the previous email I got this working see below.

[alarm at archl-c1e linux-amlogic-5.y-devel]$ sudo cat
/sys/kernel/debug/gpio | grep usb
 gpio-1953 (USB_HUB_RST_N       |usb-hub-reset       ) out hi
 gpio-1954 (USB_OTG_PWREN       |regulator-usb-pwr-en) out lo ACTIVE LOW

With reference to the schematic  odroid-c1+_rev0.4_20160226
section USB HOST POWER ---- MP62551DGT-LF-Z
Both USB POWER and PWREN help control the power to USB Ports.
