This sort of special-case handling opens the gate to adding special-case 
handling for any new device, which somewhat defeats the purpose of a 
generic driver.

Is the check still required in this context, since 
(devm_)reset_control_get() complains really loudly if #reset-cells is 
missing?

This can be a generic "reg-offset" property. If and until the 
devicetrees are updated, "altr,modrst-offset" would also have to be read 
as an alternative. Since a platform data already exists, 
reset_simple_devdata could be a better place to store the default offset 
of 0x10 for socfpga.
