Thanks for that.

I guess it depends whether you care about the assertion or the signal
itself. I think we may have a bug in the way the GPIOs are handled at
the moment, as it makes no difference whether I register the GPIO are
active high or active low...

I guess that will be yet another thing to debug, but in the meantime
we have a reliable reset.
