Looking closer at the vendor BSP reset driver, I realized that that kernel doesn't seem to be using this reset IP at all. Their reset driver is actually just using clock gating in the HHI_GCLK_MPEGx registers. I'm not sure I understand why they made that choice (I've asked off-list), but we'll need to keep in mind that any usage of the reset driver in the vendor DTs corresponds do clock gating, and not this reset IP. In any case, other than the minor comments, this looks like a good driver for the reset IP in the S905/GXBB. Also, I gave this driver a quick test with the network driver support I recently posted. When the network driver is loaded, it deasserts the reset and when unloaded, it asserts the reset. Interestingly, the assert cases a full system lockup. :( I've asked some Amlogic folks off-list about this issue too, and hope to get some more clarifcation (and ideally docs) about this reset IP soon.
