Is it possible to have num_resets == 0 but num_gdscs > 0?
If so, the now uninitialized reset variable will be dereferenced and
passed into gdsc_register() a few lines below:

		ret = gdsc_register(scd, &reset->rcdev, regmap);

The whole gdsc reset handling looks very spooky, with
gdsc_(de)assert_reset() calling directly into the rcdev->ops with no
regard for reset control state.
