I know that Rob reluctantly acked this, but re-reading the commit
message for the commit that added support for the reset gpio to the
driver, and added a comment about this not having been added to the
devicetree binding, it becomes obvious that the latter was done on
purpose and that we probably should not be adding the
'post-reset-deassert-delay-ms' property after all:

	For now the new "post-reset-deassert-delay-ms" property is only
	used on x86/ACPI (non devicetree) devs. IOW it is not used in
	actual devicetree files and the same goes for the reset GPIO.
	The devicetree-bindings maintainers have requested properties
	like these to not be added to the devicetree-bindings, so the
	new property + GPIO are deliberately not added to the existing
	devicetree-bindings.

	2be404486c05 ("HID: i2c-hid-of: Add reset GPIO support to i2c-hid-of")

So perhaps we should just do this properly and add a new compatible
property for X13s touchscreen which can be used to determine these
delays (e.g. for cases where some default values are insufficient).
