Hmm _reset() in omap_hwmod.c has this to call _assert_hardreset:

	if (oh->class->reset) {
		r = oh->class->reset(oh);
	} else {
		if (oh->rst_lines_cnt > 0) {
			for (i = 0; i < oh->rst_lines_cnt; i++)
				_assert_hardreset(oh, oh->rst_lines[i].name);
			return 0;
		} else {
			r = _ocp_softreset(oh);
			if (r == -ENOENT)
				r = 0;
		}
	}

Care to explain what exactly the problem with the hwmod code not doing
the reset on init?

And why do you need to do another reset in dra7xx_pcie_remove()?

Right.. But I'm wondering about the why you need to do this in the
driver at all part :)
