I see only two or three other drivers in kernel which do that.

The ifdefery, that this patch has, shouldn't be needed. We have a
similar ACPI patch for Tegra I2C [1] and it doesn't have that.

I assume this patch could be reworked similarly to the I2C patch.

Agree that should be better to have a common reset driver for ACPI
instead of polluting each driver with a boilerplate code.
