IMHO you can keep your version. DTs are part of the system integration.
What if one system has a invert logic infront of the gpio input.. The
system integrator needs to read and to understand the schematic
correctly to pick the correct value.

The good think about gpiod is that it care about logic values not
physical/electrical values. If you set GPIOD_OUT_HIGH then the reset is
asserted, whatever asserted means electrical.
