OK but the logic is the same, just that the polarity handling is moved
into gpiolib.

Looks correct, R143 is indeed a pull up indicating that the line is
open drain, active low.

Yep that seems correct.
Oh I guess it is this:
amlogic,tx-delay-ns = <2>;
- snps,reset-gpio = <&gpio GPIOZ_14 0>;
+ snps,reset-gpio = <&gpio GPIOZ_15 GPIO_OPEN_SOURCE>;
snps,reset-delays-us = <0 10000 1000000>;
- snps,reset-active-low;
Can you try:
snps,reset-gpio = <&gpio GPIOZ_15 (GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW | GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN)>;
?
Open source is nominally (and rarely) used for lines that are active high.
For lines that are active low, we want to use open drain combined
with active low.
