Hmm, wouldn't it be better to register the controller as a reset 
provider and then teach SPI NOR to call reset_control_assert()? This way 
you can cleanly handle GPIO based resets as well as MMIO register based 
reset using the CQSPI_REG_CONFIG bit 5.

How I am thinking it should work in your case is you can create a GPIO 
based reset controller driver (I wonder why this hasn't been done yet) 
that toggles a given GPIO line based on reset_control_assert() or 
reset_control_deassert() calls [0]. Then in the SPI NOR DT node you just 
do resets = <&your_reset device>. On a platform which supports reset via 
bit 5 of CQSPI_REG_CONFIG, they can do resets = <&cqspi_controller>.

I am not particularly familiar with the details of the reset framework 
so I would like to hear what others think, but I think it is a good 
proposal to start with.

[0] Or, you could register the GPIO driver itself as a reset controller. 
    I am not sure which works better.
