The device's hardware reset pin is only required if the platform must be able to update the device's firmware. As such, demote the reset GPIO to optional in support of devices that ship with pre-programmed firmware and don't route the reset pin back to the SoC. In that case, the 'fw_file' attribute is hidden because there is no way to open the bootloader. The logic is extended to the case in which the device does not advertise bootloader support in the first place. Last but not least, remove the hardware reset performed at probe because there is no reason to reset the device manually. A power on reset function already ensures a clean reset at start-up.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
