There might be more out of tree users of course - there's no requirement for people to upstream their DTs. Probably better to play it safe.
If someone correctly describes the gpio_reset as active-low, then the driver will not work.
If there is any out-of-tree user of the gpio_reset property, they are passing the incorrect polarity in the device tree and things are working by pure luck. (wrong polarity in dts + wrong polarity handling in the driver = working state)
To be honest I think the transparent polarity handling in the GPIO bindings was a mistake, it's caused no end of problems especially with signals like this which are active low - it's a nasty gotcha for conversion to descriptors.
Ok, if this can't be fixed, then let's drop patches 2 and 3, which is unfortunate.
Why drop patch 3?
