Olof was kind enough to volunteer his sun6i platform (colombus) and
provide the results. The results confirms there is a need to also
initialize the lock in sunxi_reset_init as Maxime C. mentioned.

DEBUG: sunxi_reset_init()
DEBUG: sunxi_reset_deassert()
INFO: trying to register non-static key.
the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
turning off the locking correctness validator.

I'll go ahead and resend an updated patch and cc stable if Philipp and
Maxime R. they agree.
