Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] ARM64: dts: mediatek: fix MT7531 reset GPIO polarity on multiple boards

The MT7531 reset pin is active-low, but several DTS files configured the
reset-gpios property without GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW. This causes the reset GPIO
to behave as active-high and prevents the switch from being properly reset.

Update all affected DTS files to correctly use GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW so that
the reset polarity matches the hardware design.

Boards fixed:
 - mt7622-bananapi-bpi-r64
 - mt7622-rfb1
 - mt7986a-bananapi-bpi-r3
 - mt7986a-rfb
 - mt7986b-rfb

Note: the previous DTS description used the wrong polarity but the
driver also assumed the opposite polarity, resulting in a matched pair
of bugs that worked together. Updating the DTS requires updating the
driver at the same time; old kernels will not reset the switch correctly
when used with this DTS.

Compatibility
-------------

Correcting the polarity creates intentional incompatibility:

 * New kernel + old DTS:
   The driver now expects active-low, but out-of-tree DTS still marks
   active-high, causing the reset sequence to invert.

 * Old kernel + new DTS:
   The old driver toggles reset assuming active-high, which now
   conflicts with the corrected active-low DTS.

This was unavoidable because the original DTS was factually wrong.
Out-of-tree DTS users must update their DTS together with the kernel.
