The XCLR active level is "Low" at the init time. It is set to "high" 
during power-on / normal operation

True.

AS far as I can see, the DT binding schema specifies 'reset-gpios:' - 
without the active level

The active level is I suppose, intentionally left to the DT implementation ?

Yes, if the patch is accepted, the Device-tree implementation for IMX335 
will need to be adjusted accordingly. This can be an issue definitely - 
but on the other hand, this attempts to rectify a mistake, no?
