Actually it was for a chip on the component side, but indeed upside down
(in the sense of: rotated 180 degrees). I don't see why I should make a
separate footprint for that - rotating a component on the PCB is easy.
But rotating the component did not rotate the text. My customers are
often electronic newbies - they will insert a chip wrong if they get a
chance to do so. Putting the text upside down (in the same orientation
as the text on the chip) might reduce that chance a little bit.
