Makes sense. I will double check what to do here.

This check is needed to ensure reset_control_status() really works
because we need it in rcar_i2c_do_reset(). From the docs:

"reset_control_status - returns a negative errno if not supported,..."

The code only checks for that, not for the status of the reset line.
