Ack, I will re-phrase it.

It should be true and my tests confirmed it.

The code below looks like overwrites of_phandle_args so
> that only one reset-gpio device is spawned for each gpio node.

The code will iterate over list of of_node and of_phandle_args and
compare them with __reset_gpios_args_match(). If all match: do not
create new platform device.

If they do not match, e.g. ACTIVE_LOW -> ACTIVE_HIGH, create new
platform device. This will be the second device for the same GPIO.
Probing of that device in reset-gpio driver will fail:

[ 19.198775] reset-gpio reset-gpio.2.auto: error -EBUSY: Could not get
reset gpios

because GPIO is used by reset-gpio.1.auto already.

We can pass it as read only platform data, but we cannot pass the
ownership. This is associated with registered platform device, not with
bound one device->driver.

Imagine case:
1. modprobe reset-gpio,
2. Driver is bound to the device,
3. unbind (echo > unbind)
4. rmmod
5. goto 1

This and earlier comment are result of a bit hacky approach to the
problem: how to find reset controllers for that GPIO?

The point is that our reset gpio controller has only 1 reset, thus
of_reset_n_cells=1. However args_count from of_parse_handle is >0, which
later is compared in reset core:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/reset/core.c#L859

That part we need to match.

I could make the reset-gpio driver to have of_reset_n_cells=2, but what
would be the point? The rest of the cells are not really relevant,
because you cannot refer to this reset gpio controller with any other
arguments.

To remind: my solution spawns one reset-gpio controller for one GPIO.

Hm, could be, although not sure if code would be simpler.

This entire function handles two cases:
1. Get normal reset controller ("resets" OF property),
2. If above fails, get reset-gpio controller ("reset-gpios" OF property)

Therefore the entire solution is following approach:
1. of_parse_phandle(resets)
1b. error? Then of_parse_phandle(reset-gpios)
2. Find reset-controller based on any of above phandles.
3. error? Check if we created reset-gpios platform device. If not:
create new reset-gpios platform device/
3b. Platform device could probe, so lookup again for reset controller or
defer probe.

What type of flow do you propose?

Overwrite not complete. It will only overwrite args_count and return a
valid rcdev.
I do not see overwriting in case of returning NULL.

I think I get your point. Overwriting happens after we store the
original of_args, but the code is indeed not intuitive. I think I can
move it further, as you suggested.
