Yeah, I'll sleep better tonight :-D

I think it would be better for driver if the _get_optional functions would 
return an ERR_PTR() for errors and NULL when reset control is not available, 
and then have the rest of the reset controller API accept NULL as a no-op. 
Your implementation would then be

	xdev->rst = devm_reset_control_get_optional_exclusive(&pdev->dev,
							      "reset");
	if (IS_ERR(xdev->rst)) {
		err = PTR_ERR(xdev->rst);
		if (err != -EPROBE_DEFER)
			dev_err(xdev->dev, "error getting reset %d\n", err);
		return err;
	}

	err = reset_control_deassert(xdev->rst);
	if (err) {
		dev_err(xdev->dev, "failed to deassert reset: %d\n", err);
		return err;
	}

That requires modifying the reset controller API, so it's a bit out-of-scope, 
but if you could give it a go, it would be great.
