The SD host controller specification defines 3 types software reset:
software reset for data line, software reset for command line and
software reset for all.
Software reset for all means this reset affects the entire Host
controller except for the card detection circuit.

Yes, same as our controller.

In sdhci_runtime_resume_host(), it will issue sdhci_init(host, 0) to
issue software reset for all.

When host tries to runtime resume in sdhci_runtime_resume_host(), it
will call reset operation to do software reset.

Since our controller will meet some strange behaviors if we do
software reset for all in sdhci_runtime_resume_host(), and try to
avoid changing the core logic of sdhci_runtime_resume_host() used by
other hardware controllers, thus I introduced a specific reset ops and
added some condition to make sure we just do software reset command
and data lines from runtime suspend state.
