This is incorrect for exclusive reset controls.
It will cause reset_control_assert() to return success for exclusive
reset controls, even though the .assert op failed to leave the reset
line asserted after the function returns.

While calling hsdk_reset_reset from .assert for shared reset controls
would be fine,?I don't see how this is necessary of useful.
If a consumer driver requires the reset to be asserted upon remove(), it
must not request a shared reset control anyway, because with shared
reset controls other drivers may keep the reset line deasserted
indefinitely.

This should be fine. I wonder from time to time whether this should be
implemented in the core, in reset_control_deassert().
