   The binding document is apparently changed in another patch. Not sure what 
you wanted to say here...

   No, we don't really need that, "phy-reset-gpio" prop can contain this data.

   Forgot to say that these old integer-base GPIO APIs shouldn't be used by 
the new code, there's new 'struct gpio_desc' based APIs, like devm_gpiod_get() 
etc.

   Well, I still don't understand why this prop is needed, while the GPIO 
sense is transparently handled by the gpiolib (at least when using DT).
