AFAIK this change doesn't break anything as this reset was not used in a
functional way (it was just pulled high in probe if provided, but the
pin_mux and/or and on-board resistor should have done the same already,
but a series I just posted will actually get some use out of it and so I
want to get this fixed before then).

As controversial as it may be, my plan is to simply not support the old
binding at all, supporting it would add unnecessary bloat to the driver,
prevent moving to new frameworks that expect the correct binding
(fwnode_get_named_gpiod), and in this case provide no benefit as far as
I can tell.
