Actually you should test for != -ENOENT, because all error codes except
this one should stop the ->probe().

BTW, this devm_reset_control_get_optional() is really weird. While most
_optional() methods return NULL when the element is not defined in the
DT, this one returns -ENOTENT, which makes it impossible to
differentiate a real error from a undefined reset line (which is a
valid case for _optional()).

Philipp, is there a good reason for doing that?
