Yes, I agree, but after this commit e9a2310fb689 ("reset:
hisilicon: fix potential NULL pointer dereference"), the
return value of hisi_reset_init() is not so correct because
it replaces devm_ioremap() with devm_ioremap_resource().

Do you think the code of this patch is OK but the "Fixes:" commit
is not accurate? If so, can we remove the "Fixes:" tag?
