I'm not sure that we should expose module reset as an operation on a clock.

In Tegra, there are resets that affect multiple clocks (well, they
affect portions of HW that use multiple clocks, not the clocks themselves).

Conversely, it's possible in general that there could be some clock
domains where different subsets of the clock domain are affected by
different reset domains.

Tieing the clock and reset domains together doesn't seem correct. A
separate reset API (and perhaps reset binding for DT) might make more sense.
