[PATCH v3 04/17] drm/panthor: Make sure reset requests in the post reset path are not lost

[Boris Brezillon]

In theory, there might be MMU/FW faults happening after the FW has
successfully started, and since we clear the reset.pending bit after
panthor_fw_post_reset() has returned, there's a short window during
which a reset request can be ignored.

The other case is a reset condition in other subcomponents that would
not prevent the FW to boot, but given what's currently done in the
post_reset() helpers, I don't see how this can happen. Anyway, it's
probably safer to reset the pending bit just before the SOFT_RESET is
issued, so there's absolutely no timeframe during which a reset event
can be lost. The risk is an infinite reset loop if the reset condition
doesn't prevent the FW to boot, and keeps happening in subsequent resets.
