Subject: [PATCH 01/15] reset: gpio: remove unneeded OF-node put

Tasking the reset-gpio driver with controlling the reference count of an
OF node set up in reset core is a weird inversion of responsability. But
it's also wrong in that the underlying device never actually gets
removed so the node should not be put at all and especially not at
driver detach. Remove the devres action.
