Are there any other IP blocks affected by the "out of reset" and "set to
reset" states? I wonder if you might benefit from the reset controller
framework?  For example see,

drivers/clk/qcom/gcc-apq8084.c

How long are these delays? Long enough to warrant using clk_prepare
instead of clk_enable? Are these clocks enabled from interrupt context?
