Subject: [PATCH v3 1/4] arm64: dts: qcom: sc7180: Bump up trogdor ts_reset_l drive strength

On at least one board (pazquel360) the reset line for the touchscreen
was scoped and found to take almost 2 ms to fall when we drove it
low. This wasn't great because the Linux driver for the touchscreen
(the elants_i2c driver) thinks it can do a 500 us reset pulse. If we
bump the drive strength to 8 mA then the reset line went down in ~421
us.

NOTE: we could apply this fix just for pazquel360, but:
* Probably other trogdor devices have similar timings and it's just
  that nobody has noticed it before.
* There are other trogdor boards using the same elan driver that tries
  to do 500 us reset pulses.
* Bumping the drive strength to 8mA across the board won't hurt. This
  isn't a high speed signal or anything.
