gpio: sx150x: correct and refine reset-on-probe behavior

Replace the arbitrary software-reset call from the device-probe
method, because:

- It is defective.  To work correctly, it should be two byte writes,
  not a single word write.  As it stands, it does nothing.

- Some devices with sx150x expanders installed have their NRESET pins
  ganged on the same line, so resetting one causes the others to reset -
  not a nice thing to do arbitrarily!

- The probe, usually taking place at boot, implies a recent hard-reset,
  so a software reset at this point is just a waste of energy anyway.

Therefore, make it optional, defaulting to off, as this will match the
common case of probing at powerup and also matches the current broken
no-op behavior.
