This is probably purely cosmetic since I've never seen a reset fail to
assert or deassert on Tegra (old generations can only fail if the reset
ID is invalid, meaning it's a bug in the framework, and new generations
may fail if for some reason the BPMP is not operational, in which case
the boot will fail much earlier).

Anyway, not saying NAK because from an API point of view it's correct to
check this. However, the Fixes: tag is a bit overkill. This does not
need to be backported to 10 years' worth of stable kernels.
