Do you have example of such boards? They could not have worked before
90c2d2eb7ab5 because it was actively setting the reset line to physical
high, which should leave the device in reset state if there is an
inverter between the AP and the device.

With gpiod API operating with logical states there's still difference in
logic:
gpiod_set_value_cansleep(reset_gpio, 1);
will leave GPIO at 1 if it is described as GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH (which is
apparently what you want for boards with broken DTS) but for boards
that accurately describe GPIO as GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW it well drive GPIO to
0, leaving the card in reset state.
You should either use gpiod_set_raw_value_calsleep() or we can try and
quirk it in gpiolib (like we do for many other cases of incorrect GPIO
polarity descriptions and which is my preference).
This still leaves the question about boards that require inversion. Are
you saying that they have real signal inverter on the line or that their
device trees correctly describe the signal as GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW?
BTW, please consider getting DTS trees for your devices into mainline.
Why do you keep them separate?
