    I haven't followed this thread so hopefully what I say is relevant. My
    take is:

    If the DT binding is correct or reasonable, keep it.

    If the Tegra DTs contain incorrect content, and never worked correctly
    in this aspect, then fix them. We do need to maintain DT
    ABI/compatibility, but I believe only with stuff that actually worked
    correctly. If the DT has a bug, just fix it.

    That said, if ti,ac-detect-gpios is describing a host GPIO, then it's
    entirely arbitrary which polarity it should have, i.e. the polarity is
    not something specified by the bq24735 HW. In that case, feel free to
    change either the binding to match the DT or the DT to match the
    binding. Changing the DT to match the binding might still be better
    since there could be other users you're not aware of, and they might
    have written their DT correctly, and you don't want to break them.
