4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit b9820a31691b771db37afe2054dd3d3a680c1eed upstream. The error pointer from devm_reset_control_get_optional_shared() is not propagated. One of the most common problem scenarios is it returns -EPROBE_DEFER when the reset controller has not probed yet. In this case, the probe of the reset consumer should be deferred.
