If reset_control_deassert() fails, then we won't be able to access the device registers. Therefore check the return code of reset_control_deassert() and bailout in case of error. While at it change reset_control_assert->reset_control_reset in rzg2l_wdt_stop() and remove unnecessary reset_control_deassert() from rzg2l_wdt_start().
