I wonder if we could handle this with a custom reset function. We
already have a reset func for dss core. If I remember right, the main
point for that is the fact that omap4 doesn't have a softreset for dss
core, so we manually write the default values to registers.

For omap2/3 this would be simple: skip the resets for all other dss
submodules, and dss core's reset would enable all the clocks and set the
softreset bit. This would reset all the submodules also.

Omap4 is more tricky. I guess we'd need to enable all the clocks, clear
manually dss core's registers, and then set softreset bits in all the
submodules. So in this case dss core would need to have information
about the other submodules.
