PCI: dwc: meson: Fix reset GPIO initial state

This commit changes the initial state of the reset GPIO from GPIOD_OUT_LOW
to GPIOD_OUT_HIGH. This fixes the reset assertion logic that was inverted
by a previous commit.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does this driver lack a .remove callback
to clean up the PCIe host?

Looking at meson_pcie_probe(), it initializes the DWC PCIe host and
registers the PCI root bus:

drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pci-meson.c:meson_pcie_probe() {
    ...
    ret = dw_pcie_host_init(&pci->pp);
    if (ret < 0) {
    ...
}

However, meson_pcie_driver does not implement a .remove callback to call
dw_pcie_host_deinit(), nor does it set .suppress_bind_attrs = true.

When the driver is unbound via sysfs or unloaded, devres automatically frees
the memory for struct meson_pcie (and its embedded struct dw_pcie) and
disables clocks and resets.

Because dw_pcie_host_deinit() is never called, the PCIe root bus and its child
devices appear to remain registered in the PCI core.

Could this lead to a use-after-free and panic if subsequent interactions
with these leaked PCI devices occur (for example, via sysfs or lspci) after
the memory has been freed?
