After submitting v4, I tested the driver under different conditions,
i. e. without enabling display support in
U-Boot (I also implemented a version for U-Boot, which I will send
only after this series is merged into
the Linux kernel). In that condition I encountered an issue with the reset pin.

The minimal fix, would be this:

-       nt->reset_gpio = devm_gpiod_get_optional(dev, "reset", GPIOD_ASIS);
+       nt->reset_gpio = devm_gpiod_get_optional(dev, "reset", GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);
        if (IS_ERR(nt->reset_gpio)) {
                dev_err(dev, "error getting RESET GPIO\n");
                return PTR_ERR(nt->reset_gpio);

With the doubt that this might cause a regression in your use case.

I then tried modifying the device tree instead of the nt35510 driver.
In the end, I arrived
at this patch that leaves me with some doubts, especially regarding
the strict option.

Another option to fix my use case without introducing regressions
could be to add a
new property to the device tree that suggests whether to call
devm_gpiod_get_optional()
with the GPIOD_ASIS or GPIOD_OUT_HIGH parameter.

What is your opinion?

Thanks and regards,
