Sorry, I did mean the id parameter in the __of_reset_control_get case.

It is the name of the reset signal from point of view of the consumer.
It specifies, via its position in the reset-names property, which of
potentially multiple reset phandles in the resets property is the one
causing the conflict.

In which case the resets property usually only contains one phandle, so
it is not needed to determine the conflicting reset control.

I'm just suggesting to augment the warning message with the reset id, if
available. For example:

    /soc/pwm@e6e31000 requests exclusive control over reset "pwm"
    shared with /soc/pwm@e6e30000 on /soc/clock-controller@e6150000
