If u-boot configured USB into something not smart-idle and the reset
would bring it back then the reset should remain.
If you could tell hwmod not use smart-idle nor smart-standby and you
make sure that the suspend code manually puts the device into suspend
via forceidle then I think could get rid of the "do-not-reset-thingy".
