According to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/gpio.txt:
"GPIO properties should be named "[<name>-]gpios", with <name> being the purpose
of this GPIO for the device. While a non-existent <name> is considered valid
for compatibility reasons (resolving to the "gpios" property), it is not allowed
for new bindings. Also, GPIO properties named "[<name>-]gpio" are valid and old
bindings use it, but are only supported for compatibility reasons and should not
be used for newer bindings since it has been deprecated."

So it should be "reset-gpios" for new bindings.

Also, sound/soc/codecs/tlv320aic3x.c still uses "gpio-reset", and I do
not see any patch in your series changing this:
ret = of_get_named_gpio(np, "gpio-reset", 0);

Same remarks for your "[PATCH 6/9] ARM: dts: imx: Fix the audio
CODEC's reset pin". I don't know if there are other DTS files using
this, but they should all be updated accordingly. This would anyway
break all of the out-of-tree DTS files using this, which I think is
not allowed, so the driver should be changed in a way still allowing
the legacy naming besides the new one.

Best regards,
Benoît
