Hi Dinh,

thank you for the patch. Just two small issues below:

Since this function can return negative error numbers, please make the
return value of reset_control_status int. That also means that drivers
must not set the MSB when returning status.

Please change the return value of the status callback to int and
describe it in the kerneldoc comment above. It should probably be
mentioned that the returned status value must be >= 0 except in error
cases.
