is there any allocation? device_property_read_string_array does not
return -ENOMEM.

vfio_platform_get_reset simply returns if the function pointer already
is populated so there is no systematic ref increment.

This looks like it hasn't been tested.

It did testing with external and in-kernel modules through
Why would we do a

My doubt were about the order of probing between the
vfio-platform_driver and the vfio reset module? This question was the
rationale of this implementation choice. But again the actual ref count
increment is devised to be done once on the first entry point (iotcl or
internal release)
