Subject: [PATCH 4.7 27/69] reset: Return -ENOTSUPP when not configured

4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: John Youn <johnyoun@...opsys.com>

commit 168d7c4e8bb25c076ed8be67fcca84f5dcd0b2c6 upstream.

Prior to commit 6c96f05c8bb8 ("reset: Make [of_]reset_control_get[_foo]
functions wrappers"), the "optional" functions returned -ENOTSUPP when
CONFIG_RESET_CONTROLLER was not set.

Revert back to the old behavior by changing the new
__devm_reset_control_get() and __of_reset_control_get() functions to
return ERR_PTR(-ENOTSUPP) when compiled without CONFIG_RESET_CONTROLLER.

Otherwise they will return -EINVAL causing users to think that an error
occurred when CONFIG_RESET_CONTROLLER is not set.

Fixes: 6c96f05c8bb8 ("reset: Make [of_]reset_control_get[_foo] functions wrappers")
