6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Artem Shimko a.shimko.dev@gmail.com
commit daeb4037adf7d3349b4a1fb792f4bc9824686a4b upstream.
Check the return value of reset_control_deassert() in the probe function to prevent continuing probe when reset deassertion fails.
Previously, reset_control_deassert() was called without checking its return value, which could lead to probe continuing even when the device reset wasn't properly deasserted.
The fix checks the return value and returns an error with dev_err_probe() if reset deassertion fails, providing better error handling and diagnostics.
