Hi Molly,

thanks for the quick response to the review comments.

The s-o-b needs your real name - guess the above is a concatenation of
first name and surname.

The binding included in this patch fails the check:
$ make DT_CHECKER_FLAGS=-m dt_binding_check

You may need to run:
$ pip3 install dtschema --upgrade

Or you may have to install some dependencies first.
The problem is that the patch is missing a "reset-gpios: true"

On top of this I looked at the binding - and the description
this is copied from is almost identical.
So another approach would be to extend the existing binding like
in the following.

And this also gives a good hint that maybe this can be embedded in
the existing driver - and there is no need for a new driver.
Could you try to give this a spin and get back on this.

Sorry for not seeing this in the first place.

	Sam
