I do not think this should be included in this version. I found PICO-ITX
has no reset gpio support. This means I can not test this feature.

I suggest adding this function when there is a board using this function.

I think the firmware should mark it bypassed as the default, at least
I have notice this behavior, but I am not sure whether it is the builtin
firmware or the uboot do this trick.

Yes they can. It is something interesting.

In fact, I have no idea about which clock control this MMIO area, if it is dbi
clock (but I guest it is not), it is kind of weird for this clear and should
move to the init. Do you have some knowledge on this?
