Hmm, maybe mxs_auart_reset() should be renamed instead, because it terminates 
the reset to this unit and make it work (called when the driver's probe 
function is running). But okay, mxs_auart_keep_reset() names more what it 
really does.

Hmm, good question. And why 3 us? :) I'm going to change it to 3 us as well.
