The DT bindings for the pca954x document that the reset GPIO is
specified through the "reset-gpios" property. However, the driver
erroneously uses a property name of "reset-gpio".

The GPIO DT bindings documentation mentions that

"GPIO properties should be named "[<name>-]gpios". The exact meaning of
each gpios property must be documented in the device tree binding for
each device."

The correct reset GPIO property name is thus "reset-gpios". Fix the
driver accordingly.

The plural form should be preferred indeed.

     gpio: of: Allow -gpio suffix for property names

     Many bindings use the -gpio suffix in property names. Support this in
     addition to the -gpios suffix when requesting GPIOs using the new
     descriptor-based API.

adds support for the singular form of the property, the GPIO DT bindings
document the plural form only. I've thus decided to fix the driver instead of
the bindings, even though it could be argued that the singular form makes more
sense in this case. I've CC'ed the people involved with the above commit for
comments on that, and have no issue fixing the bindings instead of the driver
if the singular form is preferred.

Won't this break DT compatibility for potential users of this driver? (I cannot find any in mainline though)

Considering that this GPIO is only acquired and set once and for all during probe (a very simple use-case), how about switching this to the gpiod interface instead? That way, you can take advantage of Thierry's patch and the plural form will work while also maintaining the singular form for backward compatibility.
