Subject: reset: Return -ENOTSUPP when not configured

From: John Youn <[email protected]>

commit 168d7c4e8bb25c076ed8be67fcca84f5dcd0b2c6 upstream.

Prior to commit 6c96f05c8bb8 ("reset: Make [of_]reset_control_get[_foo] functions wrappers"), the "optional" functions returned -ENOTSUPP when CONFIG_RESET_CONTROLLER was not set.

Revert back to the old behavior by changing the new __devm_reset_control_get() and __of_reset_control_get() functions to return ERR_PTR(-ENOTSUPP) when compiled without CONFIG_RESET_CONTROLLER.

Otherwise they will return -EINVAL causing users to think that an error occurred when CONFIG_RESET_CONTROLLER is not set.
