Reviewed-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org> In the back of my head I was thinking that the deassert/assert pair matches a certain SoC driver design pattern I have seen around: When a driver use an IP block it enables the clock and takes the block out of reset. When it stops using it, it asserts reset and disables the clock. This is not entirely self-evident, for example why is reset asserted across say insmod/rmmod/insmod. Just disabling the clock would be OK, I guess, in most cases. It is just one of those "dances" that developers do, as if to clear the desk or something. But I guess there must be cases where doing things in another way creates problems or power leaks. I would surely like to understand, from a silicon perspective, why drivers are so often written like this. I could think of things like little automata and gates inside the silicon that need to be reset to minimize off-power consumption but I have no clue if it is really so.

At least doing it this way guarantees the hardware is in its initial state before the driver starts doing anything with it. Otherwise you would have to ensure the hw init sequence in the driver works for any hw state. That seems more complicated to me than just making sure it works correctly when the hw is in its initial stat, especially when there are DMA engines involved.
