Yeah seems OK to me for tidss, I don't think there's any other layer to
do this in a generic way for k3 devices currently.

The thing to check here is that the sysconfig register gets properly
initialized to the right state after reset. For PM, likely the syconfig
value after reset is not correct, but that can be reconfigured later on
as needed.

Yes, for a  reason. The reset affects the entire interconnect target
module, and disabling clockdomain autoidle needs to be considered for
enable. For omaps, the resets are handled in a generic way for all the
TI devices by ti-sysc.

With ti-sysc, the reset is done before probing dss devices on init in
sysc_init_module(). The dss related quirk handling is done in
sysc_pre_reset_quirk_dss(). If needed, we could add support for reset
framework to ti-sysc for omapdrm to call. But so far there has not been
much of a need for that, I think 8250_omap could use reset framework if
available though.

Anyways, sounds like there's no need to do a similar dss reset in
omapdrm.
