All of the other reset controller API have inline stubs when
CONFIG_RESET_CONTROLLER is disabled, not having one for
reset_control_rearm() seems like an oversight (easy to make since if you
introduce the API you obviously needed it and did not consider the case
where it may not be available).

I agree this would be stable material.
