Perhaps this logic can be incorporated into the RZ/V2M reset controller
driver later, so reset consumers don't have to care about TYPE-A and
TYPE-B reset, but can just call reset_control_reset()?
I understand that's not gonna be easy, as it needs to know about the
relation between resets and clocks, and how to handle both cases (clock
(not) switched off) for TYPE-B resets.
