Yes. In absence of reset in non-cyclic case, when dmatest client
driver is stressed and loaded/unloaded multiple times we see dma 
data comparison failures. Possibly IP is prefetching/holding the
previous state and reset ensures a clean state on each iteration.

After reset stop is not needed, so for the cyclic mode we only do reset.
