Thank you Marc.

I am still a bit confused about the reset gpio. As far as I understand
looking through old commits reset gpio (PD1) is distinct from the LED
gpio (PD0) that is currently being controlled by "gpio-leds".

I guess the rfkill driver needs at least one of "reset" or "shutdown"
gpios, and that is why it continues to work with only shutdown, but I am
trying to understand if PD1 was never connected to the WiFi chip reset
line and instead is used for something else, or if it is indeed a reset
line...

Was the patch not working with reset-gpios present? I am trying to
gather data to craft a proper commit message.

Thanks.
