Problem is that some pci controller drivers (e.g. pci-j721e.c or
pcie-rockchip-host.c) expects that gpiod_set_value_cansleep(gpiod, 1)
de-asserts the line and it is already used in this way.
Which is opposite of the behavior which you wrote above.

I would suggest to define enum/macro with word ASSERT and DEASSERT in
its name instead of just true/false boolean or 0/1 int.
In case of this PERST# misunderstanding, having assert/deassert in name
should really help.
