This code is really unclearly structured, the early return doesn't
match the normal kernel style and the ifdefs aren't helping with
clarity.  Please restructure it so it's clear that *both* cases have
checks for the correct firmware type being present.

That said frankly I'd expect this handling of ACPI reset to be pushed
into the reset code, it's obviously not good to be open coding this in
drivers when this looks like it's completely generic to any ACPI object
so shouldn't be being open coded in individual driers especially with
the ifdefery.  Shouldn't the reset API be able to figure out that an
object with _RST has a reset control and provide access to it through
the reset API?
