the patchset looks good to me for the soft resets. But for the powerdown
bits I am wondering whether the reset controller API is the right
abstraction. Depending on whether those bits really just put the IPs
into reset or there is some power gating / sequencing involved,
shouldn't this rather be handled as a set of pm domains?
I see that for example on STiH415 there are both soft resets and
powerdown bits for USB[012].
