Thank you for the clarification.
I only understood later in the mail and didn't update this properly.

Keeping ownership on the list is fine, the reset-gpio driver makes its
own copy of of_phandle_args anyway. I was just wondering whether it
could make this copy from platform data instead of from the
of_parse_phandle_with_args() return value.

Thank you. I think we could also just make that check
if (WARN_ON(!rcdev->of_args && ...))
instead and skip the of_xlate call in that case (or implement of_xlate
in the reset-gpio driver to make this more explicit).

I propose to reorder after parsing the phandles: check/create the gpio
platform device right after parsing the gpio handle. Only then lock
reset_list_mutex look for the rcdev.
1. of_parse_phandle(resets)
1b. error? Then of_parse_phandle(reset-gpios)
2b. gpio? Then check if we created reset-gpios platform device. If not:
create new reset-gpios platform device/, defer if probe failed
3. Lock reset_list_mutex, find reset-controller based on any of above
phandles.

Sorry, I meant to write
"This gets called with args as parsed. If there is a match, this will
overwrite args (in the gpio_fallback case) _or_ return NULL."
at least at the end, when I understood the following.

So in this non-NULL branch there was no overwriting.

Now I think we can skip the overwriting altogether and just adapt the
following of_reset_n_cells check ad of_xlate call as mentioned above.
