Yes, this part is indeed because MediaTek’s reset hardware 
implementation is the same as TI’s. That’s why we used “compatible” 
instead of actually implementing MediaTek’s own reset controller.
So, are you suggesting that we upstream a MediaTek reset controller,
even though the code is almost identical to TI’s?
