[PATCH 2/6] remoteproc: amd_mbv_bram: Restore reset GPIO direction after PL reconfig

Partial reconfiguration of the programmable logic restores the AXI GPIO
that drives the soft-core reset to its hardware default direction, but
gpiolib keeps its cached output direction. gpiod_set_value_cansleep()
then only updates the data register, so the processor never sees a
reset transition: remoteproc reports it as running while the newly
loaded firmware never starts.

Use gpiod_direction_output() for every reset transition so the output
direction is re-established, and assert reset briefly before releasing
it so each start produces a clean reset pulse after the firmware has
been loaded.
