Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] Documentation: Add GPIO reset binding to reset binding documentation

This patch adds documentation clarifying the reset GPIO bindings most
commonly in use (reset-gpios and <name>-reset-gpios properties).

Signed-off-by: Philipp Zabel <p.zabel@...gutronix.de>
---
Changes since v1:
 - Since (<name>-)reset-gpios is already a common pattern, I have dropped the
   additional reset-gpio-names property.
 - A boolean (<name>-)reset-boot-asserted is added to keep GPIOs asserted when
   requesting them.
