Where are the device trees for these platforms?

Are there schematics so we/someone with access to the schematics
can figure it out?

It's not something trivial like forgotten to put GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW
on the gpio phandle?

This code looks a bit weird to begin with, I don't see the point
with the first setting the gpiod low, either it was low already or
high already neither matters, driving it asserted will assert it
either way.

No big deal though.

As Bjorn says: just use *_optional and comment the line out in the
device tree if there is a problem.
