Subject: serial: 8250_of: fix return code when probe function fails to get reset

From: Masahiro Yamada <[email protected]>

commit b9820a31691b771db37afe2054dd3d3a680c1eed upstream.

The error pointer from devm_reset_control_get_optional_shared() is not propagated.

One of the most common problem scenarios is it returns -EPROBE_DEFER when the reset controller has not probed yet. In this case, the probe of the reset consumer should be deferred.
