Again, please try to make the commit message self-contained (e.g.
without implicitly referring to Subject).

Also say something about which u-blox module this is needed for since
the modules I've seen do not have a reset line.

So this means that the reset line will be asserted indefinitely in case
the GNSS receiver is not used. Are you sure that's a good idea?

I don't know yet which module this is for, or how this signal is
supposed to be used, but the above makes this look more like an
active-high (regulator) enable signal. Perhaps that's what it is or
should be modelled as (i.e. as a fixed regulator).
