[PATCH/RFC v4 0/2] vfio: platform: Add generic reset controller support

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

	Hi all,

This patch series implements generic reset controller support for
vfio-platform, for devices that are connected to an SoC-internal reset
controller and can be reset in a generic way.  This avoids having to
write/change a vfio-specific reset driver for each and every device to be
passed-through to a guest.

It consists of two patches:
  - The first patch enhances the reset controller subsystem to add support
    for dedicated resets.
    This addresses the issue that even reset_control_get_exclusive() does
    not guarantee that we have an exclusive wire between the device and
    the reset controller.
  - The second patch enhances vfio-platform to add generic reset controller
    support.

Changes compared to v3:
  - Add Reviewed-by,
  - New patch "reset: Add support for dedicated reset controls",
  - Use new RFC reset_control_get_dedicated() instead of
    of_reset_control_get_exclusive(), to (a) make it more generic, and
    (b) make sure the reset returned is really a dedicated reset, and
    does not affect other devices,
  - Drop vfio-platform reset leak fix, which has been applied.

Changes compared to v2:
  - Add Reviewed-by,
  - Merge similar checks in vfio_platform_has_reset().

Changes compared to v1:
  - Add Reviewed-by,
  - Don't store error values in vdev->reset_control,
  - Use of_reset_control_get_exclusive() instead of
    __of_reset_control_get(),
  - Improve description.

This has been tested on R-Car H3/Salvator-XS:
  - SATA can be exported, as it has a dedicated reset,
  - PWM1 cannot, as its reset is shared with all other PWM modules:
    "VFIO: No reset function found for device e6e31000.pwm".

Thanks for your comments!
