No worries, I expected problems with this patchset. I should have title
it RFC.

"DEPRECATED" message in kerneldoc would be enough for me. This could be
later used by tooling like checkpatch/sparse/toolchains.

Yeah, this code is poor. In the case you mentioned, requesting a reset
line would spawn multiple platform devices of which none would bind.

Hm, good point. Thanks.

I guess you commented on this further, so I will reply there.

I don't get exactly what do you want to use as the cookie for lookup
reset controller?
1. GPIO controller node? No way, not enough
2. GPIO label?
3. Or some combination of above? This would work, I guess, a bit more
complicated cookie than just one pointer/unsigned long.
