the warning currently is emitted on vfio_platform_open/release:
dev_warn(vdev->device, "no reset function found!\n");

Thank you for that. Personally I agree to proceed with the proposed
change, ie. forbid vfio platform driver to be used if there is no reset
function found but this should be in a separate patch with explicit
commit mesg and you should remove dev_warn & related dead code.
