Calling reset_control_status() from i2c-rcar is fine for me.

Note that reset controller support is optional, so we want to add

        select RESET_CONTROLLER if ARCH_RENESAS && ARM64

to the I2C_RCAR section drivers/i2c/busses/Kconfig. Else reset will fail
silently.

This hardware bug is restricted to R-Car Gen3?
If it applies to R-Car Gen2, too, the "&& ARM64" has to be dropped.
If it applies to R-Car Gen1, too, we have to write an R-Car Gen1 reset
controller driver (R-Car Gen1 uses the legacy CPG and MSTP clock drivers,
and cannot be migrated to the CPG/MSSR driver, as its MSTP and RESET
functionalities are in separate modules).
