rk_rng_probe() pulses the optional or required reset array before
registering
the hardware RNG, but discards errors from both reset operations.

Return reset failures before publishing the RNG device.

Fixes: 8eff8eb83fc0 ("hwrng: rockchip - add support for rk3588's standalone TRNG")

The reset controller on rockchip SoCs does not return anything other
than 0 on the assert/deassert ops, and even if it did, the probe
function should use dev_err_probe to report those failures.

In other words, this patch only adds (non-ideal) dead code.

Kind regards,
Nicolas Frattaroli
