The imx8mq_vpu_power_notifier() that is the power notifier callback of
imx8mq_vpu_blk_ctl_dev_data will do the real reset of G1 and G2.
	/*
	 * The ADB in the VPUMIX domain has no separate reset and clock
	 * enable bits, but is ungated and reset together with the VPUs. The
	 * reset and clock enable inputs to the ADB is a logical OR of the
	 * VPU bits. In order to set the G2 fuse bits, the G2 clock must
	 * also be enabled.
	 */
	regmap_set_bits(bc->regmap, BLK_SFT_RSTN, BIT(0) | BIT(1));
	regmap_set_bits(bc->regmap, BLK_CLK_EN, BIT(0) | BIT(1));

Thie notifier callback is set to bus power dev of vpu-blk-ctrl.

If we remove the reset mask from the G1/G2 blk-ctrl domain, then the VPU
is only set when the bus power domain power on.

I think the bus power domain can ensure that reset will not be executed
twice.

Ming
