It returns the same (shared) reset control. But the following
reset_control_reset() [1] is a no-op if the control has already
triggered once.

If multiple drivers need to coordinate to trigger the reset more than
once (for example once after suspend/resume), both have to use
reset_control_rearm() [2].
