The driver requests explicitly "reset-gpio" property, not the one with
"gpios" suffix but upstream Linux kernel deprecated it in 2021.
Existing upstream Linux kernel DTS is being changed to "reset-gpios"
property, thus update the driver to read that one too.

Note that driver is probably broken already, because it parsed GPIO in
standard way respecting the flags and on top of that applied the
"reset-gpio-active-high" flag, thus "reset-gpio ACTIVE_LOW" with the
"reset-gpio-active-high" property would be double inverted.

A warning should also be issued when using the deprecated "reset-gpio"
property.

            dev_warn(dev, "reset-gpio property deprecated, use
reset-gpios\n");

Why? What would end user seeing this in their serial console do? The
deprecated property is not a mistake, it's just deprecated.

You're right. It's not a message for the end user, but for the developers. Therefore, it would be better to add a debug message.

Krzysztof
