In that case it's probably more just refuse to probe in the first case
without the reset controller.  Given that the device isn't working at
all it seems like the hardware description is broken anyway...

I'm really not thrilled about adding runtime error handling at that
level in the controller - it'll start to get into policy stuff if anyone
does something clever and realistically it's all broken hardware
description or very severe physical failure type stuff.
