No, I am not aware of the active state ever varying. For some reason
someone specified the reset-active-low, but probably in the end it was
not needed after all because the implementation was not added.

The only reason I can think of why the reset gpio would need active low
flag is very weird board design or broken gpio driver.

Best regards,
