This is not clear to me.

Why reset_control_get() + reset_control_(de)assert() would happen here?


devm_reset_controller_release() just calls reset_controller_unregister().

It is just a manipulation of a linked list.


void reset_controller_unregister(struct reset_controller_dev *rcdev)
{
      mutex_lock(&reset_controller_list_mutex);
      list_del(&rcdev->list);
      mutex_unlock(&reset_controller_list_mutex);
}
