Thank you for the suggestion, I'll be working on rewording as soon as
possible.

I'm sorry but I'm not sure about what you mean by saying all cases.
Currently I'm testing this driver on a msm8916 device having AK09911
magnetometer. At the current stage the driver is failing on probe
because reset pin is not connected to VID (as datasheet requires in case
of pin not being used). In case of reset pin not asserted, register's
reset is triggered resulting in empty registers, leading to probe fail.
For this reason pin is asserted during power on in order to have
informations in registers and deasserted before power off triggering
a reset.

A workaround that gets AK09911 working on device is by setting the
reset pin always high on device tree. This way registers gets reset by
a Power On Reset circuit autonomously and reset pin never triggers the
reset.

Hoping to having answered to your question,
Best regards,
