have you checked at which point we're then actually triggering the reset?
I assume that you will find that the reset is only triggered for the
very first power_on/init call - which makes this patch effectively a
no-op (yes, we're calling reset_control_reset then, but that doesn't
mean that a reset is triggered on hardware level - see
drivers/reset/core.c at around line 346).

I don't understand why - with NULL everything is working fine for me.
Also no matter which name you give to the reset line (in reset-names),
it will be the same reset line in all cases. If it's the same reset
line before and after: why is this needed?
