OK so if hwmod code has already done the reset, then why would you need
to deassert reset in the device driver probe?

I don't understand this part either.. Usually you just power up and init
the registers to a sane state in a device driver probe and on exit just
power down the device.

OK if the hwmod code does not deassert reset lines properly on enable,
then that sounds like a bug that should be fixed instead of adding
device specific work arounds.

Sorry to keep dragging this on a bit longer, but I think we need to
hear Paul's comments on this one.
