This matches the order in which the members of struct reset_control_ops
are defined.

I'd rather keep it like this, as of_node_put() must not be called in all
error paths.  Moreover, SCMI remapping will add more error paths,
and multiple fail* labels.

Indeed, it would be very chatty, and may confuse users, that's why
