[PATCH v3 1/5] reset: Add reset_reset() and reset_reset_bulk() API

Hello Michal,

Although properly commented, I find the reset_reset_bulk() implementation
counterintuitive. Are we so certain that the Linux implementation is the right
and obvious one? I personally would prefer to have it assert all resets at the
same time. It is faster and prevents races if the resets are interdependent.

Kind regards,
Maarten Brock
