Is this supposed to reset the OSPI flash or the controller? If you are 
resetting it in the flash then you should handle this from the flash 
driver, not from here.

Also, as of now at least, SPI NOR only works when the flash is in SDR 
mode. For TI platforms, we reset the flash in the bootloader (U-Boot), 
before handing control off to the kernel. If you do want to properly 
handle flashes that are handed to the kernel in DDR mode, I would 
suggest you update SPI NOR instead to detect the flash mode and work 
from there. This would also allow us to support flashes that boot in DDR 
mode, so would still be in DDR mode even after a reset.
