Thanks, this is helpful information.

Sorry for the confusion, I have mixed up things here.

With the change to shared reset control, reset_control_assert
potentially does nothing, so it could be possible that
pm_runtime_put_sync cuts the power before the reset es asserted again.

Yes, please disregard my comment about the devm_ change, that should
have no effect whatsoever and looks fine to me.

Correct.

Is it ok to keep the reset deasserted while the power is cut? Or do you
have to guarantee that drivers sharing the same reset also keep the same
power domains active?
