Rasmus replied to me:
"devm_add_action_or_reset precisely calls the reset callback for you
if the add action falls..."

I was not aware of this but it's actually true, which makes the patch
perfectly valid. Thanks for the heads up Rasmus!

So this patch gets my:
Reviewed-by: Martin Blumenstingl <martin.blumenstingl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I suggest applying it to net-next (even though it carries a Fixes tag)
so the various kernel auto testing labs can try it out on as many
Amlogic SoCs as possible.


Best regards,
