You didn't compile test this:

  CC [M]  drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.o
drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c: In function ‘store_host_reset’:
drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c:269:2: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘check_reset_type’ discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default]
drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c:250:12: note: expected ‘char *’ but argument is of type ‘const char *’

It needs a const in check_reset_type().

I've added it.
