Oh, right, I remember now. Seems like there wasn't much consensus on
how to solve the problem there, and I think I didn't really have time
to work on it any more either.

I think coupling in another driver to reset the device isn't a bad
idea... this could even be usb3503 if you modified it a little, and it
could also address Tomasz' concerns from that thread that the solution
should be extensible to other HSIC devices that need a different reset
sequence. But you need some mechanism to hook the two drivers together
and make sure phy-samsung-usb2 synchronously calls the reset function
at exactly the right point to ensure the timing works right.
