It's better to be written other way around:

acpi_handle handle;
int err;

handle = ACPI_HANDLE(i2c_dev->dev);
if (!handle)
return reset_control_reset(i2c_dev->rst);

err = acpi_evaluate_object(handle, "_RST", NULL, NULL);
if (ACPI_FAILURE(err))
return -EIO;

return 0;

Other than that, LGTM,

Suggestion to improve in a separate change in the future:

Add a comment explaining why we WARN() here. I.o.w. why this condition
is so critical that we need to WARN().
