I understand the reasons not to change driver behavior wrt DT, but this
driver did not make functional use of this gpio, only going forward will
this gpio be used for actually reseting the device (in some patches I
will post soon). So I would like to fix this incorrect binding *before*
fixing it will cause behavior incompatibilities.

If that is the new standard I can fix this patch to use -gpios.

I know we cant change all messed up DT bindings, but I hope an exception
can be make in this case for sanity sake.
