Yes, you need to use the _cansleep variant of the API to keep the
context information. The point I was trying to make was that you
probably (please double check, that's just an assumption on my side)
need to use the _raw variant of the gpiod API to keep the current
behavior of the driver, as we are setting the physical line state
purely depending on the reset-gpio-active-high property presence, not
the logical line state, which would take into account the polarity
specified in the DT gpio descriptor.

I guess the right API call here would be
gpiod_set_raw_value_cansleep().
