I am good with this patchset. The only thing I'd like so see modified is the
above changelog. The second paragraph doesn't belong there, i.e it is not
useful to remark on a design that was not accepted. Instead please concentrate
on _why_ we are moving from the current design to using the reset controller
API.

This can go in the 6.15 merge window if you send me a V5 fast enough.

Thanks,
Mathieu
