The Toppoly panels have a global reset line. Add an optional gpio
control for this line, for platforms which have the ability to drive it.

It's written to by devm_gpiod_get() below.

devm_gpiod_get_optional() would be better, if only for its commenting
value.

Yes, you're perfectly right.

Also, this adds a new optional property, doesn't the devicetree binding 
docs need to be update to match this?

Ah yes, that too. I'll add it for v3.

Cheers.
