What we are doing is:
1) RESET_GPIO has unknown state
2) gpio_request()
3) RESET_GPIO has the same unknown state
4) udelay(delays[0])
5) RESET_GPIO still has the same unknown state
6) gpio_set_active()
7) RESET_GPIO puts phy into reset
Your FLIPFLOP will also only set its output at step 7), so your
regulator stabilization time begins at 7), you would still have
to make delays[1] long enough for the regulator to stabilize and
the phy come up.
What matters here is the point where we put RESET_GPIO into a known
state. Whether you do step 4) or leave it out makes no difference.

As long as they make sense, yes.

I am generally with you, but in this case the binding is very clear and
if you find a bug in the dts with this case, then be happy and fix it.
