There are no DT users of cc2520 in the tree, so while ideally reset line
should not be left in "logical active" state at the end of the probe, we
can deal with this in a follow up patch, I doubt it will lead to
regressions as it is.

If I were really nitpicky I would adjust error messages when we fail to
get GPIOs, but again, can be done as a followup.
