Follow up, please, but I am not sure about selecting reset controller.
>From the tegra/mc.c code I see it can be optional - if "reset_ops" is
provided. Therefore I think:
1. Reset controller should provide proper stubs. This will fix building
of mc.c when reset controller is not chosen (regardless of point #2 below).

2. Specific drivers should depend on it. Selecting user-visible symbols
is rather discourage because might lead to circular dependencies.
