I wrote it that way specifically because all variants with direct
assignment that I could come up with looked ugly if I wanted the lines
to fit within 80 columns.

Good catch! Unfortunately this doesn't help getting rid of the WARN_ON.
However I finally tracked this down, though it took me an embarrassingly
long time because I kept looking at the wrong place.

The reason why this patch doesn't fix it is because the original code is
requesting the wrong reset control in the first place. It's requesting
the control named "usb" to reset the UTMI pads registers where is really
should be requesting the one named "utmi-pads". So the above patch only
works if the first controller ends up being probed first (because that's
when both resets are the same). In any other case the "usb" reset will
still be requested twice.

I've sent out a new patch that should fix all the warnings. I ran it
through the same test system I sent these yesterday and I don't see any
warnings anymore.
