Some boards connect the LCD_RESET pin to a reset input on the display panel. On these boards, this pin must be set to the proper level for the display to function. This adds an optional "reset-active" property to the "display" subnode such that devicetrees can specify the desired polarity of the LCD_RESET pin.

So maybe this is fine for the mxsfb if it doesn't support any kind of panel drivers, and there's no plan to extend it. Otherwise the LCD_RESET pin could perhaps be exposed as a GPIO for the panel drivers. But even so, I think the definition of "reset" is a bit vague. I know panels for which "reset" is a pulse, you assert it for a short period. Other panels take reset more like a on/off switch. If I'm not mistaken, this one is the latter kind. I don't see any sleeps related to reset in the code. If reset is asserted when the display is blanked, is it guaranteed that the reset stays asserted long enough until the display is enabled again?
