You should document the reason for the
return code change in the changelog.
Why is it better to use -EBUSY?

It'd be better to prefix this with the driver name
or use something like netdev_dbg with #define DEBUG
otherwise it's "huh? what device emits this message?"
when reading the logs.

Something like:
printk(KERN_DEBUG pr_fmt("reset not supported\n"));
or
#define DEBUG
netdev_dbg(dev, "reset not supported\n");
or
#define DEBUG
pr_debug("reset not supported\n");

unnecessary conversion.
