Driver code never touches "rstn" signal in atomic context, so there's
no need to implicitly put such restriction on it by using gpio_set_value
to manipulate it. Replace gpio_set_value to gpio_set_value_cansleep to
fix that.

As a an example of where such restriction might be inconvenient,
consider a hardware design where "rstn" is connected to a pin of I2C/SPI
GPIO expander chip.

We need to make sure we are not assuming it can be called  in such a 
context in the future now. But that is something we can worry about if 
it comes up.

Is this a real life issue you run into?

Thanks for letting us know. What platform is that? I'm always interested 
in hearing about devices that use the Linux ieee802154 subsystem. :)
