Please look at the upstream kernel sources and use the mailing list
(lkml) if you want to report bugs. Xilinx' vendor tree might or might
not be up to date.

You could just call reset_control_assert() and reset_control_deassert().
You're right there is currently no implementation for the 'reset' function for
zynq (and most of the other SoCs). I'll need to see if it makes sense at
all.

Please note that you'd probably have to modify the i2c driver to
integrate reset functionality cleanly.
