The code for handling the reset level count in the Resettable code
has two issues:
The reset count is only decremented for the 1->0 case. This means
that if there's ever a nested reset that takes the count to 2 then it
will never again be decremented. Eventually the count will exceed
the '50' limit in resettable_phase_enter() and QEMU will trip over
the assertion failure. The repro case in issue 1266 is an example of
this that happens now the SCSI subsystem uses three-phase reset.
Secondly, the count is decremented only after the exit phase handler
is called. Moving the reset count decrement from "just after" to
"just before" calling the exit phase handler allows
resettable_is_in_reset() to return false during the handler
execution.
This simplifies reset handling in resettable devices. Typically, a
function that updates the device state will just need to read the
current reset state and not anymore treat the "in a reset-exit
transition" as a special case.
Note that the semantics change to the *_is_in_reset() functions
will have no effect on the current codebase, because only two
devices (hw/char/cadence_uart.c and hw/misc/zynq_sclr.c) currently
call those functions, and in neither case do they do it from the
device's exit phase methed.
