I think that actually means a reset of controller IP block logic, outside 
the control of the dw_mmc block itself.

On Rockchip SoCs this gets triggered from the CRU (clock and reset unit), so 
I guess if I'm reading the manual correctly, should be the reset_n signal of 
the ip block.

rst_n on the other hand gets triggered through a dw_mmc register setting and 
is already handled by the dw_mmc driver.
