The WCD9370 audio codec reset line on QCM6490 IDP should be active-low, but
the device tree described it as active-high. As a result, the codec is
kept in reset and fails to reset the SoundWire, leading to timeouts
and ASoC card probe failure (-ETIMEDOUT).

Fix the reset GPIO polarity to GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW so the codec can properly
initialize.

Applied, thanks!

So above was never tested on mainline.

I fixed the driver in 2251db28edcc70b7ee8a8c6bcbaecf752b3ea5ec, so back
in 2024, thus sound on qcm6490-idp COULD NOT WORK when that DTS change
was posted...

...unless it was developed on downstream.

And a BASIC probe test would discover that - whether device probes
and/or appears in sysfs soundwire bus.

Since basic test would discover it, then I really believe this was done
on some downstream-style clone.

I think this is wider problem with @qualcomm patches.
