Apart from my comments below, we really need to know Rob and Grant's
opinion on this.

So it looks like something not specific to imx board but generic to
other boards.  If so, we may need to come up with a generic binding
document for this.

Is this only used to configure output pin?  Will there be any pin that
needs to be configured as input but not owned by any driver?  Hopefully
not.

Do you intend to make this function non-gpio-config only.  Otherwise,
we may need to have "gpio" in the function name, as well as the
"config-on-boot" node name.

Also, if we define the binding as generic one, we may need to find a
common place to implement the function.

So all the gpios will use the same name.

And doesn't the reset generally need a pulse or edge signal, e.g. pull
down for a msec and pull up?
