Yes. I actually thought that was pretty standard. I do indeed have
something like

  reset-gpios = <&gpio1 3 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;

in my .dts, so setting the gpio value to 1 (logically asserting its
function) will end up driving the signal low, and setting it to 0
(de-asserting reset) will set the signal high. I will add that line to
the example in the binding.

Well, it depends on where the knowledge of the pin being active low
belongs. In this case, the driver itself handles the gpio so it could be
done both ways.

But if, for example, the iio framework would handle an optional
reset-gpio for each device, it couldn't possibly know whether to set it
to 1 or 0 for a given device, it could only set it logic 1 to assert
reset and then rely on DT gpio descriptor to include the active low/high
info.

Also, see the "The active low and open drain semantics" section in
Documentation/driver-api/gpio/consumer.rst.
