Did you get some feedback on what these resets actually are?

I'm asking because I'm wondering about how to best support VPUMIX for
the three VPU cores on i.MX8MM. The VPUMIX seems to have a SOFT_RESET
register and a CLOCK_ENABLE register, each with three bits, one bit for
each VPU. I'd be interested in knowing what these actually reset / gate
as well.
