The commit message should describe the new module option.

You should also describe this is not just a matter of having a reset
function implemented & found somewhere but also a matter of having the
reset call to succeed. A reset failure now induce a failure on the first
open(). Shouldn't we handle this failure in a separate patch to make
this clearer?

what do we do at release time in case the reset fails. You did not
change anything. Shouldn't we at least emit a warning to the user if the
reset becomes mandated (separate patch as evoked above)?
