We've been getting reports on that not being the case from Sashiko
and when I last looked into one of those it definitely isn't documented
as doing so and I got the impression it is a reset controller specific
thing.  Do we are fine here because the gpio reset controller reset_gpio_probe()
includes:
	priv->reset = devm_gpiod_get(dev, "reset", GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);
	if (IS_ERR(priv->reset))
		return dev_err_probe(dev, PTR_ERR(priv->reset),
				     "Could not get reset gpios\n");
Which I guess puts it in to reset?

So do we assume gpio reset or not for this sort of driver that specifies
in the binding reset-gpios. Now if the following is implying we need
a deasserted to asserted transition (maybe?) then we'd need to force
a deassert first.

Btw I used claude to explore this and it hallucinated the reverse polarity
providing otherwise correct code for what was in reset_gpio_probe() but
oddly editing that one line.  I was being lazy and using the web UI rather
than a version with access to my git tree so maybe it scraped some
buggy code from a downstream tree.  Anyhow watch out for subtle garbage!
It also took a few requests to get it to figure out the logical nature
of the GPIO signals rather than assuming they were controlling whether
the line was high or low directly.
