Currently some SSD1306 OLED modules are sold without a reset pin (only 
VCC, GND, SCK, SDA four pins). 

Add support for missing reset-gpios property.

Unfortunately, a similar patch has been sent a couple of times 
already: 
https://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg158330.html

didn't have a chance to be merged either.
 

There are really boards that needs this function.

Then  you can accelerate its inclusion by reviewing it.
