This define was not used. Since the code is meant to be duplicated from
one reset module to the other I thought it did not bring any have a
specialized name

the function is implemented in a separate module. This is just to make
sure the vfio-platform module is loaded, in case the end-user attempts
to load the reset module without having this latter loaded.
