Right, so this gpio-reset driver is not in mainline. You are adding
support for something which does not exists ;)

There were few iterations of it when I finally given up, I can quickly
find rfc v2:

Probably in earlier or later series the reset framework was also discussed.

I ended up using GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_NONEXCLUSIVE in the pcm3168a driver.
