So the data sheet says

  The hardware reset is initiated by pulsing the RESET pin low. The
RESET pulse width must comply with the specifications in Table 11.

and table 11 says that the pulse must be min 50us, max 1ms. We don't
really have any way whatsoever to ensure that we're not rescheduled
right before pulling the gpio high again (deasserting the reset), so the
pulse could effectively be much more than 1ms. But I have a hard time
believing that that actually matters (i.e., what state would the chip be
in if we happen to make a pulse 1234us wide?). But what might be
relevant, and maybe where that 1ms figure really comes from, can perhaps
be read in table 10, which lists a "device reset time" of 1ms, with the
description

  Time taken for device reset and calibration memory upload to complete
hardware or software reset events after the device is powered up

so perhaps we should ensure a 1ms delay after the reset (whether we used
the software or gpio method). But that would be a separate fix IMO (and
I'm not sure we actually need it).

I don't mind requesting the gpio with GPIOD_OUT_HIGH, but I'd still keep
the gpiod_set_value(, 1) in the reset function, otherwise it's a bit too
magic for my taste.
