You could encode the device address as part of the reset identifier,
such that if we ever have more devices to reset, then we only need to
define new identifiers for them, and internally within your reset
controller provide you can resolve that reset identifier 0 is PCI_BUS <<
20 | PCI_SLOT << 15 | PCI_FUN << 12 for instance.

This would make your reset controller define a "#reset-cells" property
to 1 now, such that no further DT ABI breakage would occur if you were
to extend it later on.
