Why do you care about old code when introducing new DT property?
Either it is reset, then lets call it reset-gpios or it is power supply
and then voltage regulator should be used (VAUX4.OUT is such a regulator
although it is unclear to me how it is controlled (*)).

The only way I can help here is to resend your patch with "reset-gpios"
used, which I'm pretty sure you can handle yourself.

(*) Remark "DAC33 enabled (for example, plug in a headset to the 3.5mm
AV connector and start music playback from the device)" in schematics
suggests it is controlled somehow.
