Yeah, since they're const I guess maybe it's just setting a pointer.  It
troubles me a little bit that nobody else seems to be using this
device_property_read_string_array() interface.

Ah, so it does.

I think we need to enforce the ordering; the reset function should be
set on device open via request_module() and try_module_get() to make
sure it is present and can't go away (or make it all a static part of
vfio-platform).  A user doesn't expect the reset capability advertised
in the vfio device info struct to change over time.  Thanks,
