"No reset controller specified.\n"

Please reread the error message, and what you wrote above.

Error message: "No reset controller specified".
Rationale: NULL (i.e. no error) if "the resets property is not specified".

If an error pointer is returned, this may be due to probe deferral (to be
propagated, but further ignored), or due to a real failure.

So IMHO the code should read:

        if (IS_ERR(pl330->rstc)) {
                if (PTR_ERR(pl330->rstc) != -EPROBE_DEFER)
                        dev_err(&adev->dev, "Failed to get reset.\n");
                return PTR_ERR(pl330->rstc);
        } else { ... }
