The reset_control_get_count() inline stub returns -ENOENT, so the
compiler can throw away the complete loop.

Since resets are looked up with of_reset_control_get, I'd use
of_reset_control_get_count() above for consistency. But see below:

It looks like the order of deassertions is irrelevant. If so,
You can use of_reset_control_array_get() to simplify this:

+		rstc = of_reset_control_array_get_optional_shared(dev->dev.of_node);
+		if (IS_ERR(rstc)) {
+			if (PTR_ERR(rstc) != -EPROBE_DEFER)
+				dev_err(&dev->dev, "Can't get amba reset!\n");
+			return PTR_ERR(rstc);
+		}
+		reset_control_deassert(rstc);
+		reset_control_put(rstc);
