There's several things wrong here. The first one is that you rely
solely on the pinctrl state to maintain a reset line. This is very
fragile (especially since the GPIO pinctrl state are likely to go away
at some point), but it also means that if your driver wants to recover
from that situation at some point, it won't work.

The other one is that the bluetooth and wifi chips are two devices in
linux, and you assign that pin to the wrong device (wifi).

rfkill-gpio is made just for that, so please use it.
