Awesome!

We definitely would avoid hitting the warning without the
reset_control_(de)assert calls in suspend and resume. That is a valid use of
the reset control, but why would that be best?

From reset_control_reset():

If we use reset_control_reset() then we can not (de)assert the reset line
on suspend/resume or any other time. Wouldn't we want to be able to
(de)assert the reset line? And why do we no longer want to (de)assert the
reset line on suspend/resume?

I think I had already tested something similar. Removing the (de)assert calls
but keeping reset will definitely remove the warning, but it means we can not
(de)assert the line. My guess is that this is not what we want, but I could be
wrong. Thoughts, input, or references to documentation on this would be
appreciated.

Cheers,
