Subject: [PATCH net] net: dsa: qca8k: fix illegal usage of GPIO

When working with GPIO, its direction must be set either when the GPIO is
requested by gpiod_get*() or later on by one of the gpiod_direction_*()
functions. Neither of this is done here which result in undefined behavior
on some systems.

As the reset GPIO is used right after it is requested here, it makes sense
to configure it as GPIOD_OUT_HIGH right away.

Fixes: a653f2f538f9 ("net: dsa: qca8k: introduce reset via gpio feature")
