Nit: Technically I think __ is a reserved name-space, so you shouldn't
prefix "user-level" (rather than libc/similar) symbols with it, but it's
not a big deal.

Should that error-path (and the path for of_property_read_u32() failure)
include a dev_err() like some already do, so it's obvious what the
failure is?

It might be better to set the drvdata right after it's been allocated.
It perhaps doesn't matter much here, but if the reset controller core
ever starts calling into the registered device inside the call to
reset_controller_register(), then there might be a problem.

Aside from those minor issues,
