After taking a second look at this thread, I don't see anything big to
be modified.

We both agree that "reset status bit in sysconfig register" is the quirk
case which can be added once such an IP is discovered in ti-sysc.

All I need to change is SYSC_OMAP4_SOFTRESET to SYSC_SOFT_RESET_SHIFT_0
for better readability and rebase it to the latest mainline.

Do reply if you differ on the above.
