Hi Andy,

thank you for the patch.

At the time, there was nothing outside of the box to describe reset
lines, and as far as I am aware there still isn't, so the devm_reset_*
should behave as if the reset line is not specified in the non-DT case.
Returning -EINVAL was reasonable in that case, before the API was
changed to describe unavailable, optional reset controls as rstc = NULL.

Is this is about 8250_dw.c? Unfortunately it sometimes takes a little
while for me to get updated on the big picture, as I only get the actual
reset driver and framework patches in my inbox. Usually I only see the
reset consumer changes when I actively look for them.

But the fault in this case was is with me not considering all possible
code paths influenced by commit bb475230b8e5, in the configurations that
I can't test myself.

Ideally, __of_reset_control_get would not be called at all in the non-DT
case. I'll change that in the next round, but for now I'd prefer a small
fix in place.

This should be

	if (!node)
		return optional ? NULL : ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);

instead. Can you confirm this works for Intel boards with DW UART? I can
fix it up when applying if you agree.
