I was planning to drop enable_resources() from Qcom driver once the DBI rework
series gets merged. Because, the resource enablement during probe is currently
done to avoid the crash that is bound to happen if registers are accessed during
probe.

But what your observation reveals is that it is possible to get PERST# assert
during the EP boot up itself which I was not accounting for. I always assumed
that the EP will receive PERST# deassert first. If that is not the case, then
this patch needs to be dropped.
