This sort of special-case handling opens the gate to adding special-case handling for any new device, which somewhat defeats the purpose of a generic driver.

Is the check still required in this context, since (devm_)reset_control_get() complains really loudly if #reset-cells is missing?

This can be a generic "reg-offset" property. If and until the devicetrees are updated, "altr,modrst-offset" would also have to be read as an alternative. Since a platform data already exists, reset_simple_devdata could be a better place to store the default offset of 0x10 for socfpga.
