I consider "hiding" it from general use by renaming it to
__of_reset_control_array_get().

There are other, indirect users of this function, but it is always
called via a more self-explanatory static inline function:

drivers/amba/bus.c:
	of_reset_control_array_get_optional_shared()

drivers/net/dsa/lantiq_gswip.c:
	of_reset_control_array_get_exclusive()

drivers/phy/cadence/phy-cadence-sierra.c:
	of_reset_control_array_get_exclusive()

drivers/phy/cadence/phy-cadence-torrent.c:
	of_reset_control_array_get_exclusive()

drivers/soc/tegra/pmc.c:
	of_reset_control_array_get_exclusive_released()

drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-of-simple.c:
	of_reset_control_array_get()

I would like to eventually replace the use of multiple boolean
parameters for configuration. It is hard to read and errors have
slipped through in the past (e.g. a57f68ddc886, "reset: Fix devm bulk
optional exclusive control getter").
