Hi Krzysztof


This does not break the ABI. In the Qualcomm PCIe driver, we use the APIs
devm_reset_control_array_get_exclusive, reset_control_assert, and
reset_control_deassert to handle the resets defined in the device tree.
Regardless of how many resets are provided in the DTS, these three APIs
treat them as an array and operate on all of them collectively.
Therefore, adding a new reset does not affect the existing ABI behavior.
