I suppose you don't care that the reset is only ever deasserted once
and never asserted again on this hardware, but for shared reset
controls the expectation is that deassert/assert calls are balanced:

https://docs.kernel.org/driver-api/reset.html?highlight=balanced#assertion-and-deassertion

So maybe this warrants a comment in the code. Or do you mean to
suppress unbind via suppress_bind_attrs to explain away any missing
cleanup?

Consider using dev_err_probe() here.
