if possible, I'd like to move this logic into the reset controller
driver. Can this be reordered to enable power before deasserting the
reset line (assuming it is initially asserted)? In this case, I'd
suggest to just call device_reset:

	pm_runtime_get_sync(&pdev->dev);
	ret = device_reset(&pdev->dev);
	if (ret)
		goto err;

The ops.reset callback in the prcm driver then can handle clearing
the reset status bit, deasserting the reset control bit, and waiting for
the reset status bit to be set (or timing out with an error).
