Rockchip RK3576 UFS controller uses a dedicated pin to reset the connected
UFS device, which can operate either in a hardware controlled mode or as a
GPIO pin.
Power-on default is GPIO mode, but the boot ROM reconfigures it to a
hardware controlled mode if it uses UFS to load the next boot stage.
Given that existing bindings (and rk3576.dtsi) expect a GPIO-controlled
device reset, request the required pin config explicitly.
This doesn't appear to affect Linux, but it does affect U-boot:
Before:

=> ufs init
ufshcd-rockchip ufshc@2a2d0000: [RX, TX]: gear=[3, 3], lane[2, 2], pwr[FASTAUTO_MODE, FASTAUTO_MODE], rate = 2
=> md.l 0x2604b398
2604b398: 00000011 00000000 00000000 00000000 ................
After:
=> md.l 0x2604b398
2604b398: 00000011 00000000 00000000 00000000 ................
< ... snip ...>
=> ufs init
ufshcd-rockchip ufshc@2a2d0000: [RX, TX]: gear=[3, 3], lane[2, 2], pwr[FASTAUTO_MODE, FASTAUTO_MODE], rate = 2
=> md.l 0x2604b398
2604b398: 00000010 00000000 00000000 00000000 ................
(0x2604b398 is the respective pin mux register, with its BIT0 driving the
mode of UFS_RST: unset = GPIO, set = hardware controlled UFS_RST)
This helps ensure that GPIO-driven device reset actually fires when the
system requests it, not when whatever black box magic inside the UFSHC
decides to reset the flash chip.

This has originally surfaced during the review of UFS patches for U-boot
at [1], where it was found that the UFS reset line is not requested to be
configured as GPIO but used as such. This leads in some cases to the UFS
driver appearing to control device resets, while in fact it is the
internal controller logic that drives the reset line (perhaps in
unexpected ways).
Thanks Quentin Schulz for spotting this issue.

Changes in v2:
- Change default pin pull to pull-down in line with the SoC power-on default
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260119-ufs-rst-v1-1-c8e96493948c@gmail.com (local)

My bot found new DTB warnings on the .dts files added or changed in this
series.
Some warnings may be from an existing SoC .dtsi. Or perhaps the warnings
are fixed by another series. Ultimately, it is up to the platform
maintainer whether these warnings are acceptable or not. No need to reply
unless the platform maintainer has comments.
If you already ran DT checks and didn't see these error(s), then
make sure dt-schema is up to date:
pip3 install dtschema --upgrade
