So digging a bit more deeply on this, it looks like the reset is
already taken care of by drivers/clk/clk-ast2600.c in the
clk_prepare_enable() path.
clk-ast2600 handles resets when enabling the clock for most peripherals:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/clk/clk-ast2600.c?h=v5.12#n276
and this is true for both the SD controller and the eMMC controller:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/clk/clk-ast2600.c?h=v5.12#n94
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/clk/clk-ast2600.c?h=v5.12#n88
If this weren't the case you'd specify a reset property in the SD/eMMC
devicetree nodes for the 2600 and then use
devm_reset_control_get_optional_exclusive() as Philipp suggested. See
the reset binding here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reset/reset.txt?h=v5.12
So on the surface it seems the reset handling in this patch is
unnecessary. Have you observed an issue with the SoC that means it's
required?
