This is a little confusing. Shouldn't we rather completely omit any
mention of the polarity of these and let the board design handle this?

If the reset is low active, then I'd expect that to be reflected in the
GPIO specifier of the reset-gpios property, like so:

	panel at 0 {
		...
		reset-gpios = <&tlmm_pinmux 54 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
		...
	};

With that a driver can simply deal with a high active reset, which it
currently doesn't. The problem with the current description is that it
is unclear who's to deal with the polarity. In order for this to work
properly with the current driver you'll have to specify the GPIO as
GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH, which is not what the binding says it should be.
