The infamous commit c440eee1a7a1 ("Staging: fbtft: Switch to
the GPIO descriptor interface") broke GPIO handling completely.
It has already four commits to rectify and it seems not enough.
In order to fix the mess here we:

  1) Set default to "inactive" for all requested pins

  2) Fix CS, RD, and WR pins polarity since it's active low and
     GPIO descriptor interface takes it into consideration from
     the Device Tree or ACPI

  3) Fix RESET pin polarity in the places missed by the commit
     b918d1c27066 ("Staging: fbtft: Fix reset assertion when using gpio descriptor")

  4) Consolidate chip activation (CS assert) under default
     ->reset() callback

To summarize the expectations about polarity for GPIOs:

   #RD			Low
   #WR			Low
   #CS			Low
   #RESET		Low
   DC or RS		High
   RW			High
   Data	0..15		High

See also Adafruit learning course [1] for the example of the schematics.

While at it, drop unneeded NULL checks, since GPIO API is tolerant to that.
At the end, update TODO to mark this job eventually done.

Shouldn't this be broken up into "one patch per thing" from your list
above?  Feels like you did a lot of different things all in the same
patch :(
